Thanks for the suggestions batjhong! Will definitely look into those schools. =)

Thanks Suzanne.. Can you please tell me what NLE is? I need an idiot-proof guide to what exactly you guys are telling me, as it seems all I get are technical terms, and I am not yet familiar with such words. My husband wants to be a nurse in the soonest possible time, and he would like to practice in the US. However, he would prefer to study in the Philippines because it will be easier for him to finish, whereas if he studies here, then he would have to work and study, which is something he's been through already, and would not like to repeat. He is an American citizen, but will have no problem studying in the Philippines because he used to be a Filipino citizen. Let's tackle his issues before I add in my own. Thanks again! Oh, and I am still waiting for NAMES OF SCHOOLS to be suggested to me, in the soonest possible time, because I know that the next semester is in June, and we need to gather all the proper documentation before then.

Thanks Silverdragon102.. I already know what steps to take to ensure that my papers for citizenship aren't affected by this decision to study. I am still looking for actual school suggestions from people who know which ones are good in the Philippines. Please see my original post for more details. Thanks guys!!! And HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Thanks Alexk49..We would prefer to study in the Philippines though, because we have family there, and it is ultimately cheaper than studying here in the US (we are currently in the US). If we stay here and study here, we have to pay rent, utilities, etc., whereas if we choose to study in the Philippines, we can live with family members until we graduate - plus, when I get pregnant, we'll have a better support system than if we do it all here, because in the US, everything is DIY. My husband will have a hard time studying and working at the same time. It's the reason he wasn't able to finish his degree in the first place. And with the US in recession, he figured it would be best to just finish his degree already (he has some nursing credits). What do you mean by retrogression?

So, I am interested in taking up Nursing in the Philippines, however, I do not wish to go through minor subjects again. I am looking for a decent enough school which has an accelerated program, wherein I am able to finish my Nursing Degree in 2 years, maximum. Please give me actual school suggestions, if possible. Also, my friend told me to look for schools which are not ladderized, what exactly does that mean? I already have a degree. My husband is also interested in taking up nursing, but he doens't have a degree yet. He is an American citizen (born to Filipino parents though, so he is eligible for dual citizenship), and I am a Filipino citizen. No LPNs/ADNs please. I want actual Nursing Schools. Please give specific suggestions, ex. DLSU, UST. We would prefer in Metro Manila of course, partucularly near Greenhills area. Thanks! PS What do you guys think of Philippine School of Sciences and World Citi Colleges?
