uhm, just wanted to ask these so i'd have a definite answer, is it really a must to enroll in a review program before taking any of the qualifying exams? wouldn't reviewing by yourself enough to make one pass? are there certain stuff that you'd only get the info if you enroll in a program(not referring to the leakage or anything!), like where to take the exam, where to pay and the likes...

most of the schools you mentioned do not accept non-fresh grad applicants.. one of the few i approve of are UMAK, Delos Santos, UDMC/SACI since these are the school's that i was able to inquire with.. am currently with SACI since it didn't give me much of a hassle when i was applying for nursing..

what's BON??

the government isn't doing anything about it as far as i know.. she's actually focused on the Call Center Industry since this is the one bringing in much of the jobs for newly grads and OSY's here.. she's just after a colorful SONA with regards to the economy.. blech!!

just wanted to know.. how much are hospitals paying now here in the PI? i learned from a friend that nurses' salary is only 8k in st. luke's.. is this true?? no wonder most graduates prefer to work in call centers since the pay would be double that amount for newly grads.. this is one reason why most nurses go abroad instead of sharing their knowledge and skills here... tsk!

i don't think private hospitals would bend the rules just because she, as the president, signed a law. what would happen to the hospitals if these people who signed promissory notes would leave and never come back to pay? it's not just the hospitals who would be affected, think of all the people working in rank & file.. if the hospital would go bankrupt then these wage earners would surely be affected as well..

just my two cents.. if you're referring to PCHS which nearly had all the board takers last 2006 in complete dilemma then i don't suggest you enroll there.. i do have a neighbor who is graduating this october from that school and she told me that there are tons of problems that they're actually encountering these days.. given the scandal and the lose of integrity of the school she's just hoping for the best after she graduates. i pass by St. Joseph's College along E. Rodgriquez Ave. almost everyday and i notice that they do have CNA(clinical nursing assistant) course and the usual BS Nursing course and their base hospital is St lukes.. i don't know if they do have graduates already or even board passers to boot but you can check them out and see if they would credit some if not most of your subjects.. goodluck!

^ right... my stand as well....

in any site or account wherein you need to enter a username and password, i think it's but natural not to let anybody know your username and password. that is because you need to protect whatever information you may have placed there. if you give them your username and password then they would have total control of your account. i wouldn't sign with that kind of angency. just my POV...

honestly, what i would suggest is for you to research more on the schools/colleges/universities around your area so you can get the pros and cons of each.. i may give you my opinion but it can also confuse you so just do more asking and inquiring.. you can also try umak.. they have a ladderized program for 2nd coursers.. i really like it there!!

thanks for understanding... :) like what you said, it really depends on the student... i can say that myself since the school am enrolled right now isn't really that great as well.. i just decided not to transfer anymore since it would affect my transcript.. this is my 3rd school since i started schooling way way before.. hehehe... let's just strive to be better students that what's expected of us.. correct? hehehe!!

thanks for understanding... you're right.. it all depends on the student!! take care and goodluck!!

with all due respect, i didn't mean to generalize all the students.. as i've said it all depends on the student's interest and efforts to be able to get high grades and pass with flying colors.. i just sited the experience i had with some of the students before.. i was also told by a friend who has a friend currently studying there that when her friend tried to have her grades evaluated in other schools, they said that her 1.0 grade is only equivalent to a 3.0 in other schools.. how they were able to gauge that is beyond my knowledge.. i was just curious why the student from lanting was able to give that comment about her own grades.. she is actually encouraging my classmate to transfer to lanting since she said that she doesn't have a hard time getting high grades even if she doesn't really study hard.. i just told my classmate if that's the case then she's better off where she is right now and just strive harder to pass all her subjects.. i am also impartial to the appearance of the school or the facilites of the school if it's airconditioned or not.. what am just trying to point out is the testimonies of the students in that particular school... regards!!!

@rookieq sure no problem... will try to answer your question thru pm if i can.. hehehe!! goodluck on your search...

go and check with pamantasan ng lungsod ng makati.. they have a great program for second coursers and it would only take you two years to finish... goodluck..
