This is what we have been stating all along here.

With the schools would inform the students that they persuade into signing for the program that they will not be able to get a visa for any other country with that training, nor even a license in your own country.

Glad to hear that you are finally realizing what we have been telling everyone. Hope that they will listen to you before they sign for the program that will not do them a thing but cost them money.

please make this a sticky

There is already a sticky about the same topic. Also, links of past threads about the pros and cons (mostly cons) of LPNs are already indexed on one of the sticky as well.

"So ,if I study the Practical Nursing program in the philippines and pass the philippine licensure ,will i be able to take the NCLEX and allowed to work in the US?Any recommended school in the visayas area for LPN?"

Its good that you have a plan B. But let me help you, studying Practical Nursing doesn't allow you to take the Philippine Local Boards. The PRC (Philippine Regulatory Commission) and the BON (Board of Nursing) just wont allow a you take the licensure. Only those who graduated with a Bachelors (BSN) degree are allowed to take. That is as far as I know. I have met some students of these Practical Nursing students in Cebu during their hospital duty, none of them mentioned any local board exam. Most of these fellas, came home from the US to study here in Cebu. And they plan to leave soonest to work there back in US without any Phil. Board exams because there are not allowed to take it. Frankly speaking, I would advice you to study and take the BSN.
There are existent curriculum catered for second-courses. Meaning these guys have finished already 4 years in college and entered schooling again for nursing. It is like an equivalency program, wherein your non-nursing subjects (i.e English, Physics and Chemistry) that you have already taken and which is also in the nursing curriculum will be offset. And the remaining and very important nursing subjects (ie. Community health nursing, Fundamentals, Medsurg..and etc). will be the ones that you have to take. Ultimately reducing you length of study. This is authorized by the Government and these programs are usually offered in Big Universities. 2 programs are existent, 1 for those whose pre-nursing course is non-medical and second, those whose pre-nursing course is medical. Of course it matters.

With your query for a Practical Nursing School in the Visayas area, there is one in Cebu City, "Philippine Paramedical and Technological School" or somewhat like that. They have Clinical Instructors too who are good Nurses. Personally, I know one of them.

Anyway, the decision is yours. So good luck. And always remember, be it LPN or BSN, Patient should always come first. "Amor, Servitum , Humanitas!"

even in our province there were schools offering LPN programs.. they even have this prints in their banner that they were TESDA accredited.. if PI wont even give exams for PN to be LPN and graduates wont be able to apply for it as a job here and abroad, why CHED, TESDA, allow them to operate??!! it will just waste time, money, and effort!

This is what we have been saying all along. Just because a training is offered in your country, it does not mean that it is going to be accepted in other countries, and it is not. When your own country does not even recognize it for licensure, then it says alot about the rest of the trainings that are being offered there, and more proof that money greases quite a few palms there as well.

With the dismal record of quite a few of the RN programs that do not even have a handful of graduates that can pass the NLE, and then add into the equation where there is not even a licensing exam for this group, and things are headed for disaster.

There is not one training program in the Philippines that will get you a visa to work in the US as an LPN.

And even if you train in the US for the LPN, you still cannot get a legal visa to remain and work here. So if someone that trained in the US cannot use it, why in the world do these scam programs think that their training there will be accepted in the US for a visa?

There are no other countries in the world that will accept the training in your country for the LPN and grant a visa because of it.

Please get the word out to everyone and perhaps these programs will get shut down.

It is saddening to know that only the owner of the school benefits, not one graduate of there will be able to get a visa from any of these programs.

Your government does not even grant a license for it, why in the world would any other country have to take the graduates from there?

Just purely shameful, not any other word for it.:banghe ad:
