okay tommy... why did you say that? well just to clarify so we don't get misunderstood here :) thanks for the input but please rephrase it better next time :) thanks for your comment! it's really being fair the way you put it :) thanks! but do you really think it's a good school? coz most of my classmates in fatima are considering transferring there. thanks! I agree that it's really the student, not the institution. :) congrats to you po! i'm asking coz most of my classmates in fatima are considering to transfer there, so i'm asking if it's really a good nursing school (and from what you said, it is). thanks for the input! :)

yup, at the same time. i'm still finishing my thesis in UP, and I didn't want to waste time, so while finishing my thesis I enrolled in Fatima. Just didn't submit all requirements, just the birth certificate and copy of grades. and i actually got in! i'll be graduating in UP this summer. :) they're not really that strict with the requirements in fatima maybe because of the enormous quantity of students enrolled there now. :) i intend to complete my entry requirements in fatima after graduating from UP.

no need to be harsh po. guess i'm just new, cut me some slack naman po. thanks for the welcome (not too warm tho ) i read the info recently from Pinoy RN (click this link to read the article) so I guess it's not really hearsay :) i dunno po what's wrong with my post. di naman po nakaka-damage yun sa image natin ha. ano po ba yung na-post kong mali dun? paki-linaw lang po. thanks.

i hope things will turn out okay... praying for you germaine...

any news on CA and NY? i've heard they also took off the CGFNS requirement :)

What do you think? Thanks for the comments :)

i just wanna give a short comment about fatima university coz i'm a sophomore nursing student there (from the quezon city branch, i'm also a senior library and information science student at the university of the philippines in diliman). i actually find fatima a good nursing school because they actually give quality (if not excellent) education there. most of my professors have graduate degrees and they're very good in my opinion (but not as good as my professors in U.P., OK). plus fatima also produces nursing licensure exam topnotchers. quality-wise there's no question about fatima being one of the best nursing schools who accept second-coursers. the only reason why fatima is down there on the performance list of nursing schools is because they accept everyone who wants to take up nursing without going through an entrance exam. it's actually a mix of mediocre and genius students there, really. it's just up to you to take advantage of the education there, actually fatima's mission-vision is "to improve man as man". most fatima graduates are now working in the US, Europe, Canada, and UAE. so i guess fatima isn't that bad at all. on the downside, fatima in quezon city has mobs (yes, mobs) of students and during enrollment you have to be very early (like enroll on the first few days) to get ahead of those thousands on queue. and it's sooo dang hot in campus. but it's worth it. overall for me it's not really that bad. =)
