A two year program where only one term is done in the US does not meet the requirements for immigration. If you do not already have a green card, or a US passport, this will not work for you.
But on a secondary note, we still have not seen anyone get a visa or even get a license here that has gone thru any of these two year programs. The requirement for the US is that the training be considered the first level professional nurse in the country where it is offered, and one term in the US does not meet requirements for this. A two year program is not accepted for licensure in PI either, and with a five year wait to get a visa for the US, you are not going to be able to work anyplace with just the two year degree. So not working for five years, will make it almost impossible to you to get a visa.
And one thing that I am sure that is not being mentioned to you is the fact that even training in the US no longer guarantees that one will be able to get a green card for the US in the first place. I am sure that they have never mentioned anything about this to you.

Again, there are no visas available and this does not qualify for the OPT, so one will be returning home and waiting for a visa. But then again, it does not meet requirements for other countries for you to get a visa to be able to work there, and with the wait for about five years for the US, it just does not make any sense.
A school can promise what ever they want, but they do not issue visas and the US does not have any available right now. And we do not expect any for several years. Then if you take the time to do some reading, even in the Philippine papers, they do not expect a shortage of nurses in the next ten years or so in the US.
We still have not seen one person come thru this program and get a green card for the US, training for one month in the US does not make it an American program.
