i suggest you try pentagon... they're good in explaining concepts and simplifying pathways of diseases... and what's important is that they really exert great efforts to keep you awake... what good would a good lecture do if the students are already in dreamland right?
you just have to get used to attending a really big class (about 300 students) and some last minute changes on the venues and schedules... their final coaching is a must-see... my anxiety level dropped two levels, at least during the hours of the final coaching... im still waiting for the results of the NLE but pass or fail,the money i spent on pentagon was well worth it.

hi. welcome to allnurses.com :balloons:
If your goal is to work in the U.S. you don't even need to be licensed in the Philippines to be able to sit for the NCLEX RN exam and to apply for the Visa Screen Certification (for immigration). And, yes since you are not licensed in the Philippines you won't have Phil. hospital experience but it is not needed either. The US hospital you work with will provide the necessary orientation and Training Program.
There are a couple of threads here in the Phil. nursing forum regarding whether or not local hospital experience is required or not I highly recommend patiently looking and reading them.
Also, any future questions regarding how to apply to be able to sit for the NCLEX RN Exam and anything related to it should be asked in the International Forum. http://www.allnurses.com/forums/f75
While in the Int'l forum I recommend reading Suzanne4's Primer and all other stickies in there and all stickies in here as well.
Happy reading.

just take NLE and get experience because the only way we/most filipinos can work to the US is by having an experience working as a nurse... and you can only do that by passing local exam... unless you hava a way of going to the US without it
of course... also pass emglish exam and NCLEX.....
we are batchmates heheheh local exam and cgfns... goodluck
