Going to be very blunt here: Your post makes no sense. Could you please re-post with complete sentences and a little background. Never heard of a 'MAN' degree either. Are you in the US?

I believe MAN --master of arts in nursing, is a degree unique to the Philippines. Some have reported it is not always recognized in other countries as the general standard is a MS in nursing. So if one plans to live & practice nursing in the Philippines MAN might be beneficial. If one plans to practice overseas it might not be the best choice.

(MAN- Master of Arts in Nursing/ MSN- Master of Science n Nursing) by the way, I'm from Z. Philippines and fresh graduate of BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) and recently passed the local board exam June, 2013. while waiting my mothers petition, B.C Canadian Embassy did not allow me to work, they implement Continuos Learning Policy until i got there, thats why next month i need to enroll... are you taking masters degree? hope you can give info. Sorry for my bad english .

Kabayan, just so you know Canada recently removed nurses from the Skilled Workers List, meaning there's no demand for PH nurses or nurses from other countries, so keep that in mind.

You are lucky to be considered as a dependent child on your mother's application the issue will be finding employer once you are in Canada. Have you started the process with the College of RN's? If you really need to study I would suggest MSN rather than MAN as MAN appears to be very much Philippine thing where Canada is aware of MSN
