PWU -Edsa quezon city Nursing school

hi all,

anyone familiar with Philippine Womens University? specifically the Edsa QC branch?

comments on PWU Taft are also welcome.

anyway, the Edsa branch offers second coursers (2 year) programs although it is trimestral.

Is PWU a good nursing school generally speaking?

thanks

uhmm hello to everyone reading this thread..first thing, i am an alumni of PWU-QC and the 2nd batch to graduate from a trimestral nursing program. Yup, it's quite right that you need to self study in order for you to make it in this school but no regrets though and i'm still very proud to tell you all that i came here..and yeah..on passing the local boards?..i did it on my first take..i think my batchmates and i are lucky enough! What's nice with this school were those affiliations in hospitals when you are about to take your RLE...so i'm just here..talking..not bragging for all of this but to enlighten everyone that..a school is just there for guidance and support..we are still the one who makes an impact! Rookieq..goodluck.. =)

Thanks Chel,

did you take the Second courser program as well?

i think PWU are not are admitting transferees even if they do i heard they do not credit the units that you have taken from your previous nursing school. IMHO like what the others have said regardless of what school you are going, you should still need to read a lot :)

so study time at home would be the same whether you go to the Top school or a mediocre one?

or is the issue more of, you need to study more on your own at PWU since the professors are just too inadequate? or the school just has a terrible filing system? hence, loses important stuff

is there anyone here who can suggest a school where they felt that the professors were 100% competent?

thanks

Like some of the posters here, i also came from PWU edsa though i didn't graduate there. i can say that the professors before would be more competent as compared to the professors they have now. I am sitll in communication with some of the professors and they are all frantically urging students to enroll, i wonder why! i am continuing my nursing education after a long vacation (heheh!!) but i opted to enroll in another university. i have experienced several problems and discrepancies when i was getting my documents and just to site a scary example, they nearly lost my TOR.. that is very disturbing right.. and the system of teaching hasn't changed. I can say that i've had a good education/background which i am able to use now but the feedbacks i've heard from one of the professors there who also graduated there isn't really impressive. he opted to transfer to another school to teach for reasons which i decided not to discuss here. please take time to check all the schools you're considering like what i did and do visit them personally and try to talk to the dean or anybody from the college of nursing so you may get more info on how things are done. i suggest pamantasan ng lungsod ng makati.. one of the best schools i was considering and they also offer ladderized courses for 2nd coursers and working students.

thanks choco,

i will be sending you a PM if you dont mind...

i was also thinking of the UMAK but i didnt like the evening and weekend classes for second coursers....

--but was not enough to deter me from finishing from the Quezon City Branch. The advantages are more important to me. PWU has long been established. I know that with enough students or not, their Nursing program continues to run Also, I know some of their Nursing graduates who have been successful in the United States, Canada, and the Middle East--

thanks caringnurse,

did you also take the 2 year second courser program or the regular student 3-4 year trimester course?

yes PWU has been around for long time,

. . Be also wary of these schools that are very new, has very nice surrounding, has very new professors, and has no batch that has graduated yet and has no batch that took the boards yet---they might just be diploma mills luring unsuspecting students.

I also considered the school in the Fort but unfortunately, they only started the second course program last year so there is no way of knowing if any of their graduates would be able to pass the NCLEX etc.

are the losing of documents at PWU only an isolated case at their Taft branch?

i do have a friend who graduated at PWU (QC) and i have spoken to her about your case and so far she hasn't experienced such at he alma mater

hi. i'm currently studying as a second courser in PWU EDSA and all i could say is that no hassle about everything..like in any other campus, you should self study and not depend on the profs.one good thing about being in there is during your duty...you'll be hands on about your RLE and you'll really learn from it...i recommend this school..it's better and not crowded unlike the others.DR. Wong is the best! ^^*

I graduated from their second courser program too. I remember a couple of years back, when I was still scouting for a nursing school, what enticed me to enter this school is the length of the program. This had by far, the shortest program duration amongst the schools accepting second coursers at that time. I think the quality of education, is balanced out by each professors - there are those whom you'd just love, and some that you won't. If you are just after the degree, this is a can-do school. You know how to study on your own anyway. Oh in case you haven't researched it yet, this is one of the most expensive nursing schools out there.
