First so much thanks for all who post, you inspire me...
Hello all,:spin:
Please help me with any and all advise/input. I am in desparate need. I am born and raised in south cali and cannot get into the waitlisted/lottery process here. All colleges here seem backed up taking only the cream of the crop. I really want to get started in this career of Nursing. I have graduated college with a B.A. degree(2.4gpa) no nursing pre-reqs. I am seriously considering moving to the Philippines to complete a BSN program (Fatima) or a ADN (St. Ignatius College)any grads?. I have looked at other options like St. Kitts (IUON) and private (maric, national, apollo). I am a Catholic but am not Filipino and do not speak Tagalog. I lived in Samoa for 2 years so am used to the heat/humidity and can adjust to a new culture. Can it be done? Has it been done by Americans(non Filipino/AM-Fil.). I just want a RN asap and the idea really seems like a good option. Focus on school and no distractions of old friends. I am nervous cause I hear its really really hard overthere compared to U.S. college. A fear of mine is spending the money flying over and finding out i was hustled by a school where no one has done this before. I would love to hear from any one who has any input advice. For weeks I have looked at the many other threads on Philppine Universities and still need help. Would love to hear from any in my same situation/ students currently enrolled. I am thinking of tutoring privately from nursing student to assit in studies. Should I fly over for a week and interview /apply?/how possible is this to start in a dec07/jan08 semester? Please help anyone...
