kg21121, i'm planning on going to dr. carlos lanting school in tandang sora. I've heard good things about that school. they're not the type who'll let you graduate just because you have the money. they have a program designed specially for 2nd coursers. thanks for the advice though. appreciate it.

well, nursing it is!

hi

dont worry about going to nursing school..like others say that if you really want to pursue nursing then go for it..i myself is an industrial engr. in the phil. i worked for 2 yrs as IE then i resigned and attended nursing school...i am an RN here now in LA..yah, paradigm shift but its worth it..go for it

Am not afraid I'll be the oldest stude in class because I'm sure I will be not that guy! My wife's classmate is 47! First time I saw the guy I thought he was wearing a hairpiece! Thank you all for the encouragement. I'll be disposing all my assets come January. It'll be a big gamble but I am very willing to take the risk. I'm also expecting tough times ahead for me and my family but when it's all well and done, I think we'll be ok. Am doing this for the kids. Good luck to us all.

its sure is a big gamble and risk but like i said its all worth it...nursing school is really tough esp finishing it in phil. coz you need to be full time student in order for you to graduate on time......not like here in US that some nursing students here can still go part time job..anyhow, taking the big leap is really worth it when it comes to future family plans..God bless you on your plans

Yes, I agree. Most of us do it for our kids.

I remember on our plane ride from the Philippines, a Filipino beside me asked if my family, 5 of us, were on vacation in the Philippines. I said no and that we are immigrating. He said, " your children's future are secured already."

I have several reasons why I moved here and one of them is for my kids.

Your goal in taking up nursing for your kids' future is NOBLE!

Good luck!

Hello to all. Nursing is the way to go. I can't find a job with my engineering degree after I migrated to Australia but completed my nursing in Queensland 2 years ago in my past 40 age and never look back since. I will finish my Master in nursing this sem, I'm earning so much with 2 jobs, my wife finishes her nursing as well this sem while working as enrolled nurse. The chronic worldwide shortage of nursing will always assure one of a job even until retirement age. Areas of nursing specialisation are as broad as the opportunities nursing presents. My family is going home this December to cap a well earned rest. Good luck to all!!

hi I just arrived here in US as PT-NURSE. My brother who is an engineer working here in New jersey hospital is planning to take up nursing here. My sister in law who is still there in the Philippines (an engineer) is taking up nursing too. Dont worry you can pass those test as long you will be a little(take note) diligent on studying, no need to memorize just analyze.
Goodluck.
