degree from iuon?

Published

Hi all... Glad I found this site! I have a few questions about studying abroad in St Kitts at Internation University of Nursing (Robert Ross)

Can you get a job with this degree in canada? I live in toronto... It is an Associates degree from 1 yr in the carribean and 1 yr in the states. Has anyone done it?

Thanks

I went to St. Kitts for a semester IUON nursing. Yes it would've cost me well over 100,000 in debt. I thought about going back a second semester and I chose not to simply because of the debt and cost of living. You would literaly need $2000 a month just to live in addition to your 100 thousand dollar debt. After attending one sem at St. Kitss, I owe Sally Mae $10,000. I too was desperate to get into nursing school and I found other options.

Today I'm in an accredited nursing school in the Philippines(95%NCLEX pass rate) and will be graduating March 2009 with a BSN. My over all tuition for a bachelors degree is a total of 10,000 dollars. Thats the same amount of money I spent at St Kitts in one semester. If I did decided to grind it out at St. Kitts, I still would've graduated with only an ADN on the same date March 2009. In addition I would've had a crazy debt on my hands. Not worth it!! Yes there are other options..Go to the Philippines and Yes everything is taught in English. By the way all the books I"m using here in the Philippines were the same books I was using at St. Kitts. My patient ratio at St. Kitts was 1:1. In the Philippines it's 1:20. I'm am happy and getting exposure to prepare me for NCLEX !!!!!! - Macky

You do realize that this post was made to the Canadian Nurses forum, and that neither St Kitts nor the NCLEX are Canadian topics, right?
