2. Anyone considering doing their Masters.. and in what/why?

   caloy replied to X-treme's topic in Men

4. US demand for Filipino nurses declining - educator

   caloy replied to pinoy_guy's topic in Philippines

    caloy replied to suzanne4's topic in Philippines

    To answer the question posted by Dush i don't think that would be fair. And besides the parts of the test that had leakage were not included in the results (so i guess, no one was able to cheat successfully) Someone correct me please, if i'm wrong

    caloy replied to suzanne4's topic in Philippines

    If the student-nurses aren't the target, who are the targets? The diploma mills? The schools? I think most(if not all) of the people in this forum from the philippines would attest that this incident would not decrease the number of students who wan...
