Hi, I was wondering if you can give me a few advice on looking for an accredited BSN program in the Phil. I'm currently working as an LVN and I do have my general education, but i just don't know how to transfer those units to a BSN program in the Phil. How long ago did u get your BSN?

Taking nursing school in the Philippines, being an american, was that really difficult? Especially talking to your professors, being around a whole different atmosphere, talking to patients, etc etc?

Filipinos know how to speak English. A friend of mine went back and finish his BSN in the Philippines. He was born and raised here in the US and was able to get his way through the nursing school in the Philippines. If he was able to do it, why couldn't you? He is now an RN working here in the US.

Good thing I found this thread! I want to take my 2nd course in the Philippines maybe next sem (june 2010), but there are still some things that hinders me to do it. I am a stay-at-home mom, a green card holder and I have 2 kids the eldest is 6 yrs old (green card holder) and a 2 yr old (US citizen by his father). We just got here last year, so I am still adjusting to this new environment especially the expenses, bills, and cost of living here in NY. Though my husband is a nurse, we can't catch up or even save some pennies from his salary, so I decided that I wanted to study nursing. Having read all of the posts here, I still am confused where to take my course.

If I will take BSN here in US:

1. I will be burried to debt even before I graduate (almost $10k per sem tuition), like my husband;

2. I will not be able to concentrate on my studies coz i have 2 kids to attend;

3. when I'm in school, My husband will sacrifice his short sleeping time to take care of my 2yr old toddler (while my eldest is in school);

4. The good side is I will not be away from my family, and I will not take so many exams, TOEFLE, CGFNS and the local licensure exam in the Philippines.

If I will take BSN in the Phils:

1. I am planning to take my youngest son with me while my eldest will stay here with his dad.;

2. I will stay with my mom and my sister, free food, lodging, and I can get a yaya for my son;

3. There is a credible school near our place that offers night shift on 2nd course nursing, so most of the time I'm with my son and reviewing;

4. I will take so many Exams before I can get and pass NCLEX

5. Cheaper tuition fee

Though it will only take me about 2 yrs to finish my BSN (had my 4yr pre-med course 7 yrs ago at UST), I still don;'t know what and where to decide. Plus the fact that my mother and father-in-law don't want me to take the course in the Phils coz they said that it will be hard for us and our kids to be away from each other. They told us to just wait for the right time and everything will be on the right place for us...magtiis tiis lang muna! I understand them, but my husband and I have high hopes and dreams. Being a nurse will definitely help us achieve this goal. But I still don't know where to start... If you could give me some insights on my dilemma, It would be a great help.

Sis jencas, I think we're near to each other. we live in Tandang Sora, qc. maybe we can be nursing-study-buddies? :D

I wanna have a nursing buddy too! When are you guys going?

My friend is in the Philippines right now studying nursing. She will finish in 2 1/2 years. She goes to Perpetual. I am thinking of doing the same thing. Is Perpetual a good school? I hope someone can go with me so we can share living expenses. Oh by the way, if you are a us citizen, do you need to take the cgfns?

Are you going to study nursing program in phil? can you speak tagalog? I am chinese, I only can speak chinese and English. To be honest, I am a little bit scared of studying over there. I am still in the US right now, I am thinking of it. By the way, Do you know how many years we should study in the phil. I got LVN license already, I dont know if it will be accreditted, I dont want to stay over there for 4years.
