Hello... I know you have stated about LAWS changing in the Philippines...I was wondering if when they do change LAWS do they put a certain year when it will effect like how they do it here in the US? Also, you are right about nurses coming from other countries having a hard time looking for a job. I know of a few people who had to work at nursing homes for 6 to 12 months to get experience. In addition, they got paid only 30 dollars instead of the 40+ that nurses usually make. I also have another question. For people who is planning to take up nursing in the philippines as a second course, will the statement "having a difficult getting a job" make a difference when they come back to US? I ask this question cause my uncle is a doctor and he use to work here but he recently went back home to take up nursing as a second course. For those taking up nursing as a second course, wouldn't it depend?

I really appreciate how you put up time responding to these threads. I was just curious, how would you find out if someone from that school made it thru the immigration process??? would you recommend calling the immigration to make sure?? I really understand your point of view about studying in the Philippines, that is why I really want to make sure that I have an assurance that everything will be cool. The only reason why I want to go to the Philippines to study because I don't want to waste time waiting to get in the Nursing Program. And one more thing, who do you call about the Nursing Law in the Philippines?

JTANGA didn't you say you were going to the philippines tomorrow??? I was wondering what school will you be attending for nursing??

this topic has been mentioned a lot but I wanted to get a direct answer. I am planning to study in the Philippines because the waiting list to get in the Nursing program here in CALIFORNIA is quite a wait. I am a US citizen and I understand that I will be considered an international student eventhough I am a dual citizen. I also understand that the environment is very different, but that is also one of the reasons why I want to study there...it's different. It is really not issue because I have lived there for a few years. Back to I was saying, I am looking for a school where the courses that I have taken here in the US will be accredited. I have inquired in some schools, but they want me to start of as a freshmen. I have taken atleast 55 units and most of them are pre-requisite to get in the nursing program here, so I really don't see any reason why I should start all over. I want a school where I can get done ASAP. Can anyone help? THANX

if you don't mind....what school did you attend to study nursing in the philippines

I actually have a question about this school?...Do you go there? how does it work? I'm trying to look for a fast pace school in the philipinnes and just wanted to know
