  1. Thread for Filipino Nursing Students

    tantrum replied to purply_hazy's topic in Philippines

    My wife is also finishing next year. Even if they allow you to take the Phil Boards, don't even try to take it. Look at what just happened to the June examinees. They are stuck in no-man's land for...

  2. I want to study nursing in the Philippines.

    tantrum replied to combattelemetrytech's topic in Philippines

    If you really cannot wait in the US, just choose a solid legitimate program. I'm sure you'll get employment even as a foreign grad as there are so many Filipinos who were able to do so. It's the...

  3. Philippines News August 30-Sept5 issue

    tantrum replied to suzanne4's topic in Philippines

    the prc created it's own problem. now, there's no member of bon who will make the questions for the december exams. instead of having fewer examinees, they created a serious backlogs where at least...

  4. Philippines News August 30-Sept5 issue

    tantrum replied to suzanne4's topic in Philippines

    Unfortunately, this issue has become politicized. Politicians are trying to ride this issue to get media mileage. Whatever the PRC decides, the damage has been done. Even if those 17,000 plus passers...

  5. I want to study nursing in the Philippines.

    tantrum replied to combattelemetrytech's topic in Philippines

    i was in the philippine reserves and the last time they had a citizens call-up was in world war ii. there are too many unemployed men there to bother foreign nationals. the purpose of the dual...

  6. Putting rumors to sleep

    tantrum replied to suzanne4's topic in Philippines

    I also don't see how you can cheat on a CAT- based NCLEX. IF the 50% quota on NLE is true I dont want to hear any yakking from the BON or Nursing deans about DECLINING passing rate compared to the...

  7. Philippines News August 30-Sept5 issue

    tantrum replied to suzanne4's topic in Philippines

    I think they put a lot of ambiguous/moral judgment questions in the NLE to prevent MDs from doing well but it backfired because it became a guessing game for everybody including the good regular...

  8. Philippines News August 30-Sept5 issue

    tantrum replied to suzanne4's topic in Philippines

    Hospitals would do anything to get nurses rather than listen to a dean from a foreign school (your school does not matter once you are in the US). THEY already had a technical committee last year who...

  9. I want to study nursing in the Philippines.

    tantrum replied to combattelemetrytech's topic in Philippines

    Even though you do not have a degree, they will still consider you a 2nd courser as some schools only want students fresh out of high school. There is a thread started by gemini_star about schools...

  10. Philippines News August 30-Sept5 issue

    tantrum replied to suzanne4's topic in Philippines

    ONLY the CHED has the power to close or clamp down on Nursing schools.But that is not going to happen as previous CHED heads resigned because there's too much political pressure in doing so. I doubt...

  11. Putting rumors to sleep

    tantrum replied to suzanne4's topic in Philippines

    http://www.philippinenews.com/news/view_article.html?article_id=93dd34149d06d68b6abf179e6b8db3cf Here is the link to the article. Headline is misleading (has nothing to do with NLE) as what she is...

  12. to declare or not to declare my "license"

    tantrum replied to kokokoko's topic in Philippines

    I think she was referring to the portion of the NCLEX application asking for a local license if you have taken the NLE exam (although local license is not needed). You have to answer honestly and if...

  13. LPN in Cebu?...help.....

    tantrum replied to ana_mac's topic in International Nursing

    This is a very misleading statement (if not fraudulent). The reason why there are fewer LPN's who are immigrants is that you cannot be sponsored as an immigrant with an LPN. You have to be an RN and...

  14. to declare or not to declare my "license"

    tantrum replied to kokokoko's topic in Philippines

    This is the reason I told my wife not to bother taking the local board exams. It's not worth the grief you'll get from the BON's if something wrong like this happens again. It's not even a requirement...

  15. what is the best nursing school in q.c./manila?

    tantrum replied to princess_master14's topic in Philippines

    If she's single, it's not a big deal to go to school in the Philippines. The people I know who did their ADN in the US are married so going to the Philippines is out of the question. They have to wait...

  16. Observations on Filipinos abroad!

    tantrum replied to FutureUSRN's topic in Philippines

    When I meet people like these, I usually punish them by speaking the more obscure version of Tagalog like that of Francisco Baltazar

  17. Badly Need Advice in taking NCLEX...

    tantrum replied to Kruek's topic in International Nursing

    NCLEX is just an exam that is recognized in 50 states adn territories. You have to apply to the Board of Nursing in the state where you want to work. This particular State Board of Nursing will send...

  18. what is the best nursing school in q.c./manila?

    tantrum replied to princess_master14's topic in Philippines

    The dual citizenship is available only if one of your parents is still a Filipino citizen (not yet naturalized US citizen). Even if she is a foreign student, there are a lot of schools that do not...

  19. what is the best nursing school in q.c./manila?

    tantrum replied to princess_master14's topic in Philippines

    The $5000 might cover the whole BSN course in some schools:lol2: My wife spends about $1200 on school fees per year. There are so many schools there that accept 2nd coursers and they don't have any...

  20. Help me understand

    tantrum replied to NJNursing's topic in International Nursing

    The proposed legislation that was attached to the SENATE version of the Immigration BILL is just that, a proposal. The immigration bill is going nowhwere as this is an election year and politicians...

  21. Philippines produces more than 25,000 nurses a year!

    tantrum replied to FutureUSRN's topic in International Nursing

    I hear this a lot. But the reality is once they arrive there and start earning their dollars, they forgot about their plans and stayed working as nurses. The reality of the American economy has...

  22. "study ADN 5 trisems in RP + 1 trisem in US = US graduate" - is it possible??

    tantrum replied to jasonkidd's topic in International Nursing

    The other problem is that they don't have any Filipino grad who was sponsored by any hospital and can prove to you that it can be done. You don't want to be the guinea pig and spend 5-10 times more...

  23. I'M for retake NLE!

    tantrum replied to kimidol's topic in International Nursing

    Beware of posters who pretend to have passed the latest NLE exam and are clamoring for a retake. Most of those who failed want a retake and those who passed, don't want a retake. The only legal...

  24. Philippines produces more than 25,000 nurses a year!

    tantrum replied to FutureUSRN's topic in International Nursing

    This is one of those unfortunate cases. I'm also puzzled how you can get a BSN without going to a Nursing school. Most likely she took a lot of short-cuts and was able to pass NCLEX without going...

  25. Help me understand

    tantrum replied to NJNursing's topic in International Nursing

    Don't believe the media hype or distortions coming from politicians or so-called health experts trying to paint a doomsday scenario. There is no shortage of nurses in the Philippines. What we have is...
