I did not wait for February. I just got out of their school entirely. I did not want to waste my time any longer at Omnibus with the chance of not being approved. Omnibus is not even accredited by the BON. I would suggest attending a nursing scho...

I do not think Mr. Gaviola will be facing any charges unless the TWC (Texas Workforce Comission) can prove that Omnibus is still operating illegally. Right now TWC is trying to find proof that students are still being accepted and/or are doing clini...

I called twice.... leads to voicemail.

I have already been contacted by the TWC, Ms. Faye. Ms. Nancy Faye was working on my case. I never heard from her for about 6 months until recently and decide to update this topic, in addition to discovering the death of the Manila Headline editor,...

I prefer not to speak over the phone, but will gladly answer any questions through this forum. - twinkle12

The article above from Fil-Ame Press is inaccurate now. Please read the informed link stating this new information as of May 1, 2009: http://www.bon.state.tx.us/nursingeducation/approved-programs.html Unapproved Nursing Educational Programs Opera...

I am taking classes at Omnibus International College foundation. They are a private school in the Philippines, but have a site in Houston, TX where students can take their clinicals. I know they are not accredited in USA, but they are in the Philipp...

I found out today that the Texas workforce commission dismissed the case against OLRA. I found out afterwards that Omnibus and OLRA are two different entities. So the representer of my case told me that they are still working on the case against Om...

Rene Gaviola, the CEO of OLRA/ Omnibus, is actually in Houston, TX. I heard he lives in a rich neighborhood worth at least $1million, not pesos. He has been here for a while in the United States. I heard that he had a dentist office a few years bac...

Kathy sent me a complete version of the manila headline article. These are more readable. omnibuscomplete.pdf

Here is another file attachment of that fake Omnibus nursing school. btw, Thanks goes out to kathy. She told me how to attach these files. Thanks!!! :)

Here are two attachments of the Manila headline article about them.

I took of my facebook. The files are below.

I wasnt send the newspaper ad, but I am able to send my scanned portion of the newspaper clippings from Manila headline. And by the way, the newsreporter who did this article got threats from Omnibus, so I am unsure if they will post it on Manila H...

Just an update: The Manila Headline newspaper posted the article about Omnibus and I just received the article today from the local asian grocery store. I will try and get the article to be in the Houston Chronicle. If anyone wants to read the artic...

That was the big question. How was it possible for clincals to be done in Katy TX if their main campus is in the Philippines? The Spanish Meadows hospital was where my clinicals was supposedly going to be before I started questioning myself and tha...

The program I was in was for the RN Registered Nurse Program, not LVN. Although numerous people got their LVN from that school and were licensed after passing BON exam, my RN program was not. Just wanted to make clear that I was never interestered i...

I contacted the TX workforce commission again, but this time I got a hold of someone else my mother's friend recommended. They got all my facts and said I would have a hearing about my case in Austin in front of the BON. The representative I talked ...

So far, my parents were thinking of getting my nursing courses I've done so far credited, but when I called the CES, they said they could not evaluate them unless I completed the program entirely. So then, I wrote to about three contacts/ commission...

A few days ago I contacted the BON and told me to contact the CGFNS/CES to determine if my education is approved for the RN licensing. After I contacted the CGFNS/CES, they told me to contact the state I am in for more information. Both agencies, t...

Thanks so much for your information. I'm glad to have posted on here and are getting really good responses. I have not withdrawn from the lecture portion, as I am unsure if they will give me a refund/W or to just finish those 3 classes I enrolled i...

I can not figure out how to add the explanation letter from Omnibus in an attachment in pdf format. Can anyone help me?

I went to Omnibus, their location in Houston, TX. They let me get a refund, but said my credit card will be refunded within a week or two. I am just glad to get back my money, since I have not started clinicals yet, which I was going to do. I have a ...

You are probably right. I plan to disenroll in the Clinical portion tomorrow morning and hopefully will get my money back for that clinical class. I have not received notice from the BON yet, as it is probably too early to receive a response. So I am...

I just want to let you know, I am currently in Texas. I am a US citizen. I am able to work in the US and live here as well. I am NOT currently in the Philippines;therefore, I do not need a Visa. I do not take clinicals in the Philippines. Everyt...
