Im just a new immigrant here in California and planned to go to nursing college but its too depressing tuition is very expensive.. and I dont want to owe to anyone or in the bank. So Im planning to go back in the Philippines to continue my nursing over there. I only finished one year ahse in FEU last 2006. But this time I only want a cheap tuition and fee but very good system. Could anyone help me where should I continue? coz some universities dont accept transferee student.

My choices are:
Lanting, St. PAul Tuguegarao, Fatima, UE Ramon Magsaysay, MCU

giving useful Infos about those schools are higly appreciated.. their official sites are not enough..

Be careful as a new immigrant to the US that you do not put your GC in jeopardy.

Congrads on your new home in the USA. I always say when in Rome...do what the Romans do.

America needs your help with the economy, leaving the US spending dollars elsewhere is not helping America. There are ways to get an education that is affordable.

First find a position in healthcare ( Unit Secretary, Nurses Aide, Doctors Office). Find a program that offers a evening/weekend program. Most of these programs are affordable, where I teach many students are new immigrants like you and can't get student loans so the pay as they go.

You may have to start in PN program, it is one year full time, 2 years part time. When you graduate you will make an affordable living and complete your RN is one year in an evening program.

No loans, lots of hard work but you will make many nursing contacts , have no red tape qualifying for the boards, and contribute to your new home country.

Wow this is economical practice. I never think that way cause I dont know about those programs they have here? All the nearest schools that I inquired before they never told me those kind of programs.. They only presented me the LVN program and for me its still unaffordable. And I need more school to inquire for that. I dont wanna go back to PI this time either cause Im bit scared of my GC and what I read somewhere that some of NCLEX passers over there are having a hard time to get hired in abroad because lack of sufficient training or experience?
