hello everyone

i'm a pre-nursing student (i guess that's what you call someone who's still undecided) LOL i'm in here to learn everything i can about nursing and the work opportunities for someone like me. I'm 28 right now, have my own business yet thinking about taking nursing. I just want to live abroad. LOL

Am I in the right forum? I just need to connect with people to see if it will be right for me to take nursing or to just stay here in Pinas and improve my business.

I took up AB IS from Ateneo, graduated 98. Its not a pre-med course so when i showed my transcript to one of the schools here in our province they said it'll take me 4 years to complete the course!!! Anyway, hope to get to know all you gals & guys in here. Stay safe all.

_____________________________

I hope you would find nursing as rewarding as I have. It took me a while, and still sometimes I feel that it isn't for me. Nursing is definitely not for the weak of heart because it is very emotionally, physically and mentally taxing, but like I've said, very rewarding. There are many different ways to live abroad, and if that's just your reason, it may be difficult. You are in the right forum, you can talk to nursing students and practicing nurses as well, so you'll have an idea if nursing is for you. Best of luck!

Specializes in Nurse Education, Obstetrics, Surgery.

Kumusta! I am a filipina! My parents immigrated to Canada in 1965 and I was born in Toronto a year later. We moved to the USA when I was 2. Lived in Ohio for most of my life but have lived in Florida since 1999. I have been an RN since 1996 and will be graduating with my BSN really soon! (this month, hopefully!). I start my new job next Monday as a Nurse Educator. Yes! I'm finally off floor nursing and night shift! I will be starting my MSN later this year in midwifery.

I miss working with my filipino pak on the unit. I definitely see a difference in nursing care with filipino nurses trained here and back home. Sad to say but very true! I'd pick a fellow filipino to care for me any day!

Hope to get to everyone here! God bless!

if you dont intend to take the board in the Phil, then you can apply for nclex at California board of Nursing only , as long as you had graduate there in nursing them you will be qualified.

Hey guys! Just wanted to introduce myself, I'm a filipino nursing student born here in the U.S. but my parents are from CEBU. I attend Texas Women's University in the Texas Medical Center and even though its stressfull and hard at times I know how blessed I was to be accepted into this school (800 applied this semester and only 80 got in including me! ) And as a plus i get to do my clinicals in the world's BEST hospitals. Also its very easy to find a job especially people from my school. Students have jobs in place even before they graduate and many work while there in school as student nurses. I'm am also the youngest student in my class (i'm 19), the students are usually people pursuing second degrees in nursing because of the job stability and high pay. After school I plan to work at Texas Children's Hospital in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for about a year and then move on to become a Nurse Anesthetist. It's alot of work but I know in the end it will all pay off.

I just want to encourage all of you nurses or nursing students in the philippines who are trying to come here to keep at it because it is definantely worth it. Also during my clinicals, there is ALOT of filipino nurses so if they can do it you can too.

The pay for nursing here varies around from 50,000-100,000 US dollars a year. That about (3,000,000 - 5,000,000 a yr). Just a little info to keep ya'll motivated. When I start working I am actually gonna pay for one of my neices in the philippines to go to nursing school. I wanna help as much as I can.

Well I'm here for you who may have any questions. Don't be scared to ask...;)
