Best Nursing School

g_l · May 5, 2008

Any nursing school that is easy to get into, red flags should be going up.
As a first year student, not sure what you have had in the way of clinicals either at this point in time. Very different in the real world than what you cover in the first year of a program.
The better programs are quite difficult to get into, even for someone that holds a passport from there. Definitely not easy.
And with it getting harder and harder to find a job, they are only going to go to those that have graduated from the best schools.

yup, some employers go for the "big-time", they have 'agents 'scour the various universities and colleges and compare it to international standards and prc records. one of my high school classmates is one of those 'agents' put on temporary assignment aside from their regular duties.

those schools which are difficult to enter are continuously straining out the best so that their(school) name is a beacon of hiqh quality to potential employers.

Silliman University in Dumaguete City, Phils established in 1947. :bow: Consistently among the top 5 nursing schools in the Philippines. Silliman University College of Nursing has maintained its standard of a 100% passing record in the Nursing Board Examinations except for different instances at 99% since 1951. In addition to that, many of its graduates top the board examinations for which the PRC has awarded SUCN with plaques of recognition since 1991. :nuke:

Here are some websites regarding school accreditation:

http://www.aaccupqa.org.ph/InstitutionalMembers.html

http://www.ched.gov.ph/statistics/accreditation.of.higher.education.programs.html

The above links may not post those that belong to the "fully autonomous" nursing schools(e.g. schools that have a PAASCU level 4 accrediation for its nursing program), who are S.O. exempt. You'd have to personally inquire to determine a school's status.
