LPN is not recognized in the Philippines and therefore the course is rather useless. Very few countries accept/recognize LPNs. It's not a level of education eligible for a work visa in any country. You won't be able to work in the Philippines as a practical nurse as the credential does not exist. As far as working even an as RN it's not possible as only citizens of the Philippines are eligible to take the NLE and work as registered nurses. The practical nursing program in the Philippines is ineligible for licensing in Canada and most of the US as one cannot be licensed as a practical nurse in the Philippines since there is no such credential.

I strongly suggest you reconsider your career path plans.

Hello nguyenquocbuu. Not to many schools offer practical nursing courses here but I searched in google and found this link http://www.sasn.edu.ph/p/courses.html. Apparently, St. Augustine School of Nursing offers the course so you may want to get in touch with them so you can ask them about the specific details.

I just hope that you can find related jobs here after taking the diploma course. Our country already has a surplus of licensed and under board (those who took the 4 year nursing program but failed the licensure exam or those who didn't take it at all) nurses so the competition for related jobs is pretty tough. Plus, we don't have any licensure program for diploma or practical nurses unlike in the US or Canada.

Please consider your options well before deciding to go here to take the diploma course in nursing.

Practical nursing in most cases will not meet immigration or in some countries nursing requirements. Better to go for RN
