Good Nursing School in the Philippines

[berger]

Hi!

I would appreciate if some of you can give me some recommendations as to what school I should consider. I'm a college grad (business) and would like to take up Nursing as a second course. I would prefer a school which would take me less than 4 years.

My friend in the US recommended Carlos Lanting school because she knows a few people who graduated from this school and are now practicing in the US. Is this a good school?

Would appreciate any advice.

yep, our lady of fatima university (qc or valenzuela) is a good school. but the pre-boards are realllly exhausting! like, even if youre in your 4th yr you really shouldn't be relaxing coz you'll never know if youre gonna be one of those candidates for graduation, unlike the other schools that if they've reached the 4th yr level they are safe and soon would be receiving their diplomas. there are also mock interviews at olfu, to prepare graduating students with the real job interviews they will encounter when they graduate. just give it a try in this school.

A good nursing school is one that has been existing for several years meaning more than 15 years in my opinion. Regardless if its graduates places on the top ten of the NLE does not matter.

The reason why some schools have more of the share on the top ten passers is because they only accept students who meet their requirements above a certain higher level of grades or in other words they are the top of their high school class and that is why they are producing top notchers in the NLE.

I am from the south although I did not placed top ten when I took my NLE but my school from time to time have graduates who top the NLE. And majority of the graduates are the types that will be eventually disqualified when they apply for enrollment to certain schools like UP, UST, etc.

Of my school Batch of 1991, more than half are already in the US and the rest are in London and Middle East. Only a few are left in the Philippines and only a few of them are in the nursing field.

One advice, when you get here, your school does not matter and if you brag about it nobody will pay attention to you. I did not even find out that one of my co-workers at the sub acute/LTC facility where I work was a UST graduate and a batch of the "famous Gapuz" until I asked her. It is only in the Philippines where you can say " I am a graduate of this and that" and people will look admiring at you and feel envious of your school background.

Here, what matters is your US license and that you can get the job done.
