Badly need your advice..


I am working as a clinical instructor and currently studying for my masters degree (Masters of Arts in Nursing, medical-surgical) here in the Philippines, I don't know if my masteral units and my experience as an instructor will be credited in the US, because there are people who told me that it's of no use ..some say it is.. i am so confused now. I will be graduating next year march. I don't know if i should proceed and enroll this june. And i guess hospitals in the US prefer hospital experience? PLEASE ADVICE..

Default Re: Badly need your advice..
Any further education helps. It doesn't matter where it is from. A patient is still the same, no matter where they are, still have the same body parts.

And you can easily get the hospital experience, as a matter of fact , you will. You usually do not see universities or schools sponsoring green cards here, so you could easily get a job, and then teach on the side to get started. Most work weeks are ony 36 to 40 hours here.

Nurse thanks!
thanxs suzanne for the immediate response..an advice from a senior matters alot.. i take it by heart.. Though the reason why i took up my masters was because the school im working with requires clinical instructors with masters degree . i resigned as a clinical instructor last april to focus on my nclex review and was planning to go back teaching this august. but i think i have made up my mind to get to work in the hospital instead. hospital nurses here were poorly paid though.. a friend of mine started with 6,000 pesos gross income..nyux! thats about $118 per month hehehehe. while clinical instructors here were paid 15,000-25,000 ($290-490..only 1 day salary in the US hehehe)..which is better. But I guess i must really proceed with my masters and work in the hospital at the same time.. kinda tiring but i know it's worth it. I'll just close my eyes !! hehehe Thanks again!
