Hi i just recently search online and i found this website...If anyone can help me out feel free to comment...
I finished caregiving and as far as i know we can do ladderized course to do nursing... I can proceed to Practical Nursing for about a year.. So can you guys recommend a good school for practical nursing which is not too much on the wallet most of the schools right now are making so much business.. It has to be credited from CHED or Tesda...

I dont really need visa for nursing I am on immigrant spousal visa to the US.. My husband is working for a petition for me so i dont really need to worry about getting nurse visa for LPN which is impossible...


I need to finish this in about a year so I can fix up my date for US Embassy


anyone who knows about laderrized program??? do some schools accept my caregiving classes??? Which one has good program???Any universities in the area would take about a year.... I have minors in college too

Feel free to comment

Re: LPN school in Cebu fast program and accredited

Since there are no LPNs in the Philippines your PN education will be worthless in the USA. If your goal is to come to the USA, the PN program is a waste of money.

Re: LPN school in Cebu fast program and accredited

What you didn't understand is no one even knows if a PN diploma from the Phillipines is even recognized in North America. You should probably save your tuition and go to school once you land in the US.

I work with BScNs from the Phillipines who only gained PN permits due to the differences in education.

Re: LPN school in Cebu fast program and accredited

well, i dont get it why some american citizens try to study nursing in philippines.. pls read my thread carefully im asking for schools not any opinion on what i should do or not to do... It's way cheaper to study here.... there are lots of review book.. and plus were moving to montana were they recognized certification... every state has different medical laws and certification...

Re: LPN school in Cebu fast program and accredited

I have read your thread on wishing to take the LPN program in the Philippines. What we are all telling you is that this program is not even recognized by the Philippine government for licensure, and there is no exam offered for it there when you are done with your program. Depending on the state where you wish to work in the US, the majority of them are now requiring the local license, and this is not going to be possible for you to obtain.

What you are also not understanding is that immigration and licensure are two very different things, even if you hold a US passport, but are going to train in any other country, then you must meet the requirements for the foreign trained nurse.

Everyone that has responded to you is aware of what type of program that you have posted about as well as what is happening with these type of programs in the Philippines as well. There is a sticky at the top of this forum that I suggest that you read.

Also be aware that if you are planning to come to the US when you are done with a program like this, you are going to have issues to find an accredited program in the US that is going to accept you into their bridge program as well.

CHED also does not give any accreditation for programs other than the four year BSN. Having TESDA approval does not mean anything in the scheme of things when one cannot even get licensed in your country or obtain a job with this training in your country. And the LPN is being phased out in many regions in the US as well.

Re: LPN school in Cebu fast program and accredited

And to have a program that is accepted in the US requires that all hours are completed while is in an approved school of nursing and no credit can be given for hours from a care-giver program as well.

Take the time to do some reading in the threads that have been mentioned to see what is actually going on right now in the US and with what you want to do.

Re: LPN school in Cebu fast program and accredited

hey, thanks for all you guys thread even though its not what i expected to be as an answer.. Actually this cases of LPN's in the country why there is no license exam you cant land a job... There is to many nurses flooding around the country every year.. They keep on adding and adding unemployed licensed nurses thats why the country has no license and carreer for LPN... I see some thread about LPNs and LVNs on some different sections they ... Look at some jobsearch around the US and you'll see lots of people hiring LVN's and LPN's.. go to craigslist in every state and city healthcare job section there looking of LVN and LPNs... This thing is just a starting point... and steping stone once I'm on that step then I can moved on to a higher level...
I might just do the program in the philippines instead so I learn the basics and and study again in the US or work on a senior home or caregiving home....

Facing out the LPN's and LVN's is still quite far... it takes about 8 to 10 years and the US are going to require full RN...
Every state has different requirement and My husbands hometown doesnt have much requirement in MONTANA.. its better to lived there no sales tax...

Re: LPN school in Cebu fast program and accredited

Phasing out is happening in hospitals all over the country.
You came here asking for advice and we have given it. It is your choice as to what to do with it.

Suggest that you take the time to do some reading here of the sticky at the top of this forum concerning the LPN programs. And if you are definitely planning to go to Montana, then suggest that you actually check with their BON directly and see what they have to say about things. You may be very surprised by what you hear.

Your big issue that you are against is that you will not possess a local license and this is now becoming a requirement in quite a few states. Does not matter what the immigration status is, licensure is something completely different and has their own set of rules in place specifically by each BON.
