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?
Hi everyone, I will be enrolling to the University of Perpetual Help Rizal in Alabang Zapote for Nursing course. Does anyone can tell if this University is Good for Nursing Course????
hi i am a second courser too and i recently graduated from dr carlos lanting college last april 2007. I took the board exam last june and i'm happy to say that i passed. I think they are offering a 2 and a half year course now.
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.
if it is that strict in OLFU, then why does a large portion of your graduates fail in the exams? (or am i mistaken, do you have high passing rates now? :) ) i mean i believe you that you have these stringent requirements before they allow you to take the NLE; still, how come so many fail? But I congratulate your topnotchers. Good job studying. :balloons:
ok heres my suggestion for those who are looking for good nursing schools in the philippines....you have to make sure that they have the complete, up to date subject breakdown (course outline), if you are aiming the nclex, make sure that their course outline is similar to the u.s.a. nursing curriculum, facilities and nursing laboratories should be at the rate of 7-10, meaning the school should have a competent nursing equipments and consider the number of equipments too, im talking about the dummies for cpr training use for example. check where they throw their students for duty, make sure that the hospitals got alot of patients and cases.
actually everything is in the students hands not the school. you can have all the best of a school but if you will not really pursue your studies its useless.
for the record of my recommended school, its our lady of fatima university in valenzuela - just check the school yourself for you to find out what im talking about. very suited for nclex aimers too.

saying that "everything is in the students hands not the school" is an absolute statement.
yes, it's true that students are in charge of their own learning but the resources of the school such as the equipment, laboratory, library, competent faculty members and the like are also of equal importance to maintain the interest, motivation and competency of the students. even if a student is smart, without proper stimulation, s/he will be shortchanged.
therefore, it is my recommendation that a prospective nursing student look for a school that is consistent with higher passing rates of its graduates. after that, s/he should give her best to maximize the experiences s/he can get from the opportunities that that school has to offer.

read my post again i said things about facilities...but weather u got all those, motivations and facilities..bottom line its in the student's mind and body
well i said tons of stuffs about the school facilities if you can read it again....how can a smart student who loves to become a registered nurse someday lack the drive or the motivation to study hard and be competent??? talking about smart students, i dont think a smart student wont act like a baby,waiting to be spoon fed by her school? she'll do more of a research if shes smart you know. why would you put your success in nursing on the hands of your school teachers?

i completely agree with your statement here. and don't forget, you may have a good college facility, but if your instructors does not even know how to teach you the basic nsg. stuff, then, it will not help you with actual skills that you need when you are placed in the clinical area....i suggest the student themselves must plan ahead: study your nursing skills book, or do a research first, just in case you will be taking care of a post op pt. or just a basic wound dressing changes....a nurse must follow the techniques...blah, blah, blah you know the rest...i had an experience at clinical duty, where i almost felt like i " was on my own", and non of my classmates, nor my clinical instructor can help me. so, after that, i promise myself to be ready for anything. never say, " oh, i will read about that when i have time". for those new grads, don't rush in taking your nclexrn exam if you have your eligibility already, study, study, study. the more you learn, i guarantee you will realize you are not that ready. i think i am off topic again.
hi guys. do you know any schools that offer masters in nursing?
I asked my friends bout that and top two answers were UST and PLM. PLM requires certificate of 6mos experience and its cheaper. But I prefer UST for its ambiance.
