Re: Nursing Schools in the Philippines If you plan to go back to the Philippines to study, try to choose the best school in nursing I would recommend SLU, FEU manila universities, what city u from in the P.I? Starting this June this yr. Ive read that its gonna be 5 yrs program of nursing in the P.I. There are 2 kinds of nursing program 1) AHSE to BSN that means after 2 years of studying you will get your AHse diploma and continue for the BSN degree. 2) Ladderize nursing- they will graduate every yr. if you choose this one as far as I know you can take the midwifery licensure too. I got my AHSE and BSn degree. Expect that the hospital setting is different from USA. I didnt learn a lot of nursing skills there because they dont have enough medical equipments. Why dont you guys start as a PCT in the hospital here in USA and take the program of nursing so you will have experience in the nsg field. | | No. 22 |

Re: Nursing Schools in the Philippines
The programs in the Philippines are now going to five year programs soon. Also attending school in the Philippines and one is always going to have to meet the requirements for the foreign-trained RN. This means that one cannot begin the licensing process until they have actually graduated from their program and then the wait will be four months plus for any state at the minimum.
Licensure and immigration are two very different things.
Next issue is the economy. With new grads that trained in the US and are American having problems finding work, it is going to be much more difficult for those that have trained out of the US; and this most definitely goes for CA now as well.

Re: Nursing Schools in the Philippines
I am confused, I thought the whole nursing program was taught in English, so why did you have a language issue? Are you employed now? Last point no Private messages until 15 posts.

Re: Nursing Schools in the Philippines
Yes, the mode of instruction is in english. However, during clinicals and community health nursing you will have to interact with the patient' one on one. Since, english is not the primary language it is almost expected you learn the the language. As you probably should since you went to nursing school there.
I didn't always have to speak in tagalog, but mainly in the public hospitals and community emersion in a depressed area is where I had to communicate in tagalog.

Re: Nursing Schools in the Philippines
Jencas,
My wife is thinking of returning to the Phils to get her nursing degree also. You had mentioned that, "I already know what steps to take to ensure that my papers for citizenship aren't affected by this decision to study."
My wife is afraid that she won't be allowed to return and that her citizenship will be delayed. Can you please share with me what steps you have taken to protect your status while you are studying abroad?

Re: Nursing Schools in the Philippines
Hello everyone. I have been looking for thread regarding studying nursing in the Philippines or here.Which one is better? Any suggestions? I am thinking (i dont know if i am right) its cheaper to study in the Philippines and plus the fact that i can only finished it in 2 years. My problem is how can i apply for NCLEX and what are the requirements. Do i need to take CFGNS? TOEFL? and any other exams before taking NCLEX here? I live here in florida. And if i study nursing here, can anyone tell me what school is good and who offer grants and stuff like that. Can i work in some hospitals while studying? Pls. tell me what are the pros and cons of studying here and in the Philippines. Thank you so much for all the help.
If i posted this thread incorrectly, im sorry. I hope someone can redirect me to a correct thread and forums. God bless us all

Re: Nursing Schools in the Philippines
If you search you can find a list of schools and their NLE pass rates. There really are only about a dozen exceptional ones (pass >90%). Then contact the schools directly, though that can be hard as it seems that most email contacts do not work.
Also, It was my understanding that dual-citizenship ended (sadly) after 9/11 (the terrorist attack on the Twin Towers)

Re: Nursing Schools in the Philippines
hi...i just want to share this..
when i was doing my Nursing Degree in Davao City, i have got two classmates who are US citizens( originally filipino citizens, they are immigrant in the US), they just went back to Davao, Philippines to be eduacted. They took up BSN and when they finished the course for four years, they went back to NY, USA...New York did not require them to take IELTS for the reason that they are US citizens and they didnt even took Philippine Nurse Licensure Exams...
Right now, they are reviewing for NCLEX and they are hopeful they will pass NCLEX and be a US RNs.
good luck to all.
