2. How much

   tinekrism replied to Sponsor's topic in International

   Most inputs offered here are sound suggestions - except for few knee-jerk reactions. Indeed the best way to check expenses, w/out sounding suspicious, is to ask a copy of the receipts. To countercheck them, you need an open line with the school and...

4. 5 Year BSN Program vs. 4 year

   tinekrism replied to Hoss's topic in International

   Adding another year in a 4-year BSN degree is just like the old proposal to add grade 7 in a 6-year elementary curriculum. The only apparent outcome I can see is that schools will have an additional 25% earnings. It is unnecessary, costlier, and su...

   I'm not sure of the figures, but I can safely guess that the Philippines has been producing TENS OF THOUSANDS Registered Nurses annually the past 3 - 4 years. Is it still safe for fresh high school graduates or people over 40 or 50 y.o., to take up n...
