How long is the process from studying nursing (already have a medical degree) to taking the local boards to passing the NCLEX and then finding an employer in the US? How much is the approximate cost? What are the good nursing schools in Manila/Makati area? I am having a hard time to decide if I would have to take first the Medical Boards before I study nursing (advantage of studying nursing now, it will save me 1 year since internship is 1 year). Please advice me. Thanks!
