wow that sure is challenging. i admire nurses for their patience on the patients, on the doctors at times and the patient’s relatives at times. hehe

btw, care to exchange links?

Hope your work load at SPMC ER doesn’t stress you out. If you know Ms. Ofelia Ompoy, give my regards to her. She’s my cousin.

wow, cousin mo pala si mam ompoy, she’s our assistant chief nurse! very mabait!

hi! just want to ask, how long will this kind of training be? and is davao medical center currently hiring?thanks!

ER Training is good for 6 months. right now, training for new bactch is closed, next month there will be another opening for training. keep posted.

Hi. I am Jefred Amada, of Bacolod Adventist Medical Center, Bacolod City. Im a Er Nurse Supervisor, and Im wondering if there are Emergency Room nurses association in the Philippines? because OR has, and Hemodialysis has.. but for ER, i think we dont have Associations of Er nurses.
Hope someone can help..

thanks

Hi Sir Jef, thanks for the comment. Yeah, your right, it seems there’s no organization for ER Nurses. Uhm, how many years does your staff gets rotated to other wards?

Hello, m edward from jose reyes memorial medical center in manila, just to answer sir jeff’s inquiry, we have ENAP or Emergency Nurses Association of the philippines which was started in 1998. I checked but they dont have a website yet. Also, i have been having a hard time researching for er nursing history in the phil. can you help me out on this? thanks and god bless

Hi! I am Harthwell currently working at International SOS as site nurse (accident and emergency nurse/nurse generalist).

How can I contact the ENAP? Do you have any contact numbers or e-mail address?

BTW, if ever you are interested working with ISOS, there is an opening. Kindly visit http://www.internationalsos.com, and check the Careers section.

You can email me too.

gusto ko pong mag-er, may books po ba na pang ER? ano po payo nyo na magandang books?? baka naman may recommend po kau???

Na-isip ko lang mga guys, wala libro d2 nang Emergency Nursing, wala naman nag-babasa nang libro d2 kahit isa na ER NURSE nang books nang ER, Panu ka matututo kung kahit pa matagal nang ER NURSE wla kahit isang nabasa na libro nang ER, kakahiya talaga…. Tanugin mo? Panu ko gagaling???

Suggest ko, Read International books published ny ENA
thier website is ena.org
mag-shop po sa online store nila or sa ebay or amazon pa-ship nyo sa philippines mga 10 thou lang yun sir.

Libro lang, Wala Pa! Panu kaya ung iba PA? May GOSH!

Just my 2 cent’s of knowledge^^^^^^

@edward from joreyes medical center, okey lang naman kung maraming ER association, THE MORE THE BETTER, PARA MAY CHOICES MGA NURSES at may compitition, parang business rin yan, kung sinung mas magandang offer nang mga seminar at value for money ay dun ka AT MAY ITUTURO SAU, HINDI YUNG NATATAG NGA

walang kwenta ER d2, tanga tanga, walang alam…

Maging leksyon sana sa lahat nang pumasok nang nursing di po biro ang ER.. sana maintindihan natin ang nature at gravity nang mga ginagawa natin. maging aral po sana ito sa lahat nang ER NURSE na umaasta na wag maging kampante at maging handa palagi…

Kumusta kayong lahat? I’m an ER nurse here in New York, USA. Nabasa ko ang mga previous comments ninyo. I agree na hindi biro maging RN lalo na sa ER. Nung kararating ko lang dito, medyo kinabahan ako kasi iba ang scope of nursing practice dito lalo na sa ER. But it took me about a week to adapt and be more confident on my knowledge and skills. And I’m proud to say na hinahangaan tayong mga pinoy dahil sa compassion natin at sa bilis natin mag isip lalo na sa emergency situations.

Hi Mike, thats very interesting to note. Wow, how I wish am as good as you.

@ marcopolo, thanks. We all are good in our own right. I have a question for whoever knows this, but is there an active emergency room nurses association dyan sa pinas now? I’m a member of ENA here and I’m a certified Trauma Nurse too, but still, I would like to become a member of a Philippine ER nurses’ association.

Yes, there is actually an association for ER nurses here according to the PNA Website.

Sorry, they dont have a link but their office is located at PGH-Manila.

Deduled isip nyo lahat, pumunta nga ako dun walang kaseminar seminar taz _____ ayoko na magsalita…
I dont think there is a difference here going on especially in the ER. walang difference di uso dito un. joke nga lang ER d2…

@marcopolo Baguhan ka palang kaya wag ka umasa na ayus ung mga association na yan wag ka papasiguro…Attend ka kasi conferrence nang ER para malaman mo na primitive ung practice d2 compared sa USA na nasa stars na reach na nila tau nasa lupa pa rin.

@marcopolo Try mo puntahan at attend ka nang seminar nila para malaman mo na ang practice d2 ay nag-uumpisa pa lang lalo na sa ER at for your info ganun rin ang sasabihin nang mga doctor sau sa association nila PCEMAC at PSECP?? yata yun??

vovo mo marcopolo di mo pa rin gets ER practice d2 walang kwenta ako na nag-sasabi sau… Di naman porket may association magaling yan gets mo na?

@marcopolo pre, di naman ako nag-mamayabang gusto ko lang sabihin tong nasa isip ko at para peace of mind na rin, bahala ka kung gusto mong maniwala pero ako kasi gusto ko maging consultant nang ER kaya alam ko yan, kaya nga masteral at phd ako sa UP manila.

kahit basic skill na seminar wala that is why nid natin basic emergency skills na ayus, acls, pals, nals, pedia, neonatal, trauma, acute care yan ang need eh mga advanced like emergency nursing course at seminar or masteral at phd in emergency nursing di pa kaya.

kahit ako na lang mag-isang mag-aral nang Emergency nursing ayus lang sawa na rin ako sa mga kabobohan.

sana may hope pa na maging maganda or kung di man eh maging maayos emergency practice d2 at may mga seminar at nag-tuturo sana lang may HOPE pa! Yan marcopolo baka sabihin mo gawagawa ko lang yan. HOPE=pag-asa. Optimistic pa rin ako, wag sana sila status quo=kung anu ngayun sya rin ang bukas!

Kaya nga nag-aaral nang Masteral at Phd sa UP manila dahil saan yun? di po pa rin gets marco polo? bakit ako marami alam sa ER? heheheheehe Hulaan mo!

1. Walang ka-seminar seminar. Ex. (trauma nursing seminar, basic emergency nurse course etc.)
2. walang ka-libro-librong recommended at ipinakakalat sila (may nabasa na ba kayong libro nang ER?)
3. walang guidance.
4. Walang emergency specialization sa pinas on masteral or phd level.
5. un-professionalize ang emergency nursing d2.
5. wala man lang certification test na mag-sasabi at ipagmamalaking nakapasa ka sa standard nang pinas na ikaw ay ER nurse certified.
6. wala nang pag-asa emergency nursing d2 pag-sila ang nakaupo dahil ang pamamalakad nila ay kung sino ang senoir un na ang magaling ni hindi man nag-aral or specialize.
7. Gusto nila status quo at no room for improvement.

Thanks for all the comments babyjames, appreciated it so much.

Yeah, I kinda agree on the seminar or the continuing professional education for ER. Ive been at ER for 2 years now and the problem I think is the lack of knowledge on the disease process, although we know a bit about it and sometimes we depend on the medical residents about it which is true. Its hard to make ideal setting for us in government hospital where I work due to the volume of patients we receive and sometimes the lack of equipment and supplies also hinders us to do well, but we utilize our resourcefulness and creativeness to supplement whats lacking.

In the ER, we have lots of patients coming in and even stay for days and weeks at ER because theres no vacancy in the wards. So, they got stuck up at ER and we do medications there and even got discharged at ER for days.

To make life easier at ER, always remember ABCs. Everyone works as a team, RN, NA and MDs.

Di ko comment un advise lang dahil talagang nakaka-pika ang practice d2 nang EMERGENCY NURSING d2 sa pinas. Ung sinasabi mong resourcefull ness ay di po sapat dahil tinuturo lang sa undergrad ay basic general nursing knowledge ang EMERGENCY NURSING po ay specialized body of NEW KNOWLEDGE that is the pride of the Medicine w/c is Emergency, kaya nga nasa first floor ung ER kase napaka-halaga nya kaya sya unang pinupuntahan. By the way ingat na lang kau sa mga scammer dami nag-lipana, sino kaya?

ung nalalaman mo at lahat nang mga emergency nurse d2 sa pinas ay basic emergency knowledge, at tinuturo yun sa skul swerte mo na lang pag-di diploma mill mo like up manila at aalagaan ka at mga di-caliber ang turo although sabi nang prof ko kahit wala daw silang emergency nursing na course ay may matututunan akong basic emergency skills. Nid ang new knowledge sa er at ang mag-reresearch nun ay ang association sa pgh, sadly wala yata, kaya gud luck na lang sa basic knowledge na sinasabi mo at swerte na lang nang naka-graduate sa maayos na skul tulad nang UP at least may common sense. @marcopolo di sapat ang basic knowledge sa ER kasi di mo alam kung anung pasyente ang darating, eh papano kung advanced ang sakit nang pasyente or trauma to the highest level eh di TORTA utak mo pati residente idadamay mo pa sa ka-toxican mo di ba? gets mo na? see my point? Sa US kasi pamigay ang seminar, d2 sa pinas eh wala kang seminar.

Kahit nga mag-phd ka sa up manila walang kwenta, dapat mag-aral ka nang new knowledge of Emergency nursing kasi di tinuturo un sa classrum, kumbaga unknown at di kaya nang up manila at pgh ang emergency nursing gets? That shows how poor we are in terms of knowledge, pgh nga dafa kayo pa kaya?

dapat nga mag-sara na yang ER na yan at sila eh kung di man lang nila kayang turuan mga nurses nila kahit isang seminar man lang at mag-research naman sila nang sarile puro hiram lang lahat knowledge natin sa amerika, nakakahiya wala man sarile. ako nga nag-kanda hirap sa kakaayus puro naman sila naka-upo mga low-lifes.

Sana makita nila tong post ko para tablan naman sila nang hiya at matutomg mag-research at mabigyan nang tamang mga seminar at etc. di na sana ako mag-sasalita pero napuno narin ako at nag-alala sa mga pasyente at nurses na kawawa tulad ko na walang alam sa er at puro self-help lang ang kaya. pano ung mga er nurses na di nag-aaral umaasa sa mga seminar nyo rin eh di wala kayong ma-ibigay, mandato nyo yan di nyo sundin wala kayong sigurong balls para gawin un or di nyo lang talaga kaya, kaya hanggang ngayun after 10 yrs. nyo dyan wala parin.

I hope everybody read this by this time you’ve realized that the practice here in the Philippines is primitive compared to USA and they have already advanced practice and here in the Philippines is so primitive that is why i think that the practice here will not change forever, and even 100 yrs time if not remedied, and i think there’s no hope of emergency nursing here, everyone must make changes to the system before too late. I hope everybody reads it. Actually it’s been 40 yrs already since america has kind of practice like us in here and in 2010 they have advanced practice. i hope in 2050 we also have a good practice. Hope of emergency nursing is in our hands all. Hope god read this and be touch.

kung bibigyan ko nang grade ang ER 0 ang grade ko, mabait pa ko nyan. dapat nga -1000 naawa lang ako kasi walang grade na -1000.

1. mga 20 years +nurses walang kahit masteral sa er.
2. di man lang nag-basa nang libro kajit isa tungkol sa ER.
3. novice to basic lang ang alam sa ER (bls,acls) anong difference? at tsaka ang mga knowledge dun sa ER eh natutunan pa nung college eh w/c is wala subject na EMERGENCY NURSING???? anu yun embedded sa course? no ba yan???
4. Mga ER nurses na walang pusong mag-aral at mag-research. kaya nga di na me pumapansin nang mga bobo? wag na ko dapat pumuntang ER kung ganon???
5. wag na mag-ER kung gagawin nyo lang yabangan yan. Ui nag-ER ako, Kala mo magaling ka na? Magaling kang manloko dahil bobo naman tao run walang alam, incompetent, primitive, algae, protozoa or single celled organism na walang masteral na hindi nagasgasan utak kahit isang minuto sa graduate school.
6. tamaan na tamaan pero hindi ako magiging tanga / VOVO for the next 50 yrs. kung kaya nyo yun ewan ko na lang sa inyo!Anong klaseng nurse kayo!

hindi ko msyado nbasa… pero i really want to be an ER nurse… lahat kasi nbabago and expect the unexpected pero expected n rin

Hindi yan mababago kung nag-trabaho ka lang, ang knowledge na dala nang utak mo ay from college pa na diploma mill lang naman na wala rin alam mga prof / CI mo about EMERGENCY NURSING ANONG PAPASA SAU KUNG BOBITA / BOBITO CI MO SA ER? SIGE NGA? dapat mga passionate people in the ER serving in the association (Like myself) kasi kau mga heartless and incompetent to handle patients. In the hands of an incompetent nurses people might die here.!!!!

Serve in Er association.
Mag-aral sa ER.
Mag-graduate skull!
