I posted this in another forum, which I now realize was the wrong forum for this question ... so I am reposting it here. My wife (age 32) was born in the Philippines (where she spent most of her life), but is now a US citizen. We are currently living...

I'm thinking .... good advice

Well, the more I read all these negatives here on the forum, the more I realize that this whole Philippines nursing school may be just a big waste of time and money. And I had no idea that there was a big glut of nurses here in the US at this time. A...

Your reading way too much into all this. We have been together for 8 years already (married for 6), and never once has she been a Gold-Digger .... And no, I didn't meet her in a bar in Angeles City either. And I didn't meet her on the internet either...

The real problem we have about going to school here in the US is .... You have to take all these prerequisite classes beforehand, and that don't guarantee that you will even be accepted into the nursing course once you complete them. Well ... you fol...

steppybay .... Well, maybe this whole nurse deal is not worth the trouble. Maybe I am just living in the past ... But, as you very well know, there was once a time that many Filipina nurses came to the US for jobs in hospitals. In fact, I would bet t...

TheAverageMan ... My wife is originally from Bacolod. In fact when we got married in Bacolod, we had a house built in Ayala North Point. Sold it before I brought my wife to Florida ... I lived in the PI for 5 total years myself. Anyway, my wife is al...

That's an idea

Yup ... Looking at my history, you can see that I was asking a similar question about nursing school when I first joined this forum back in 2010. She put the whole idea on hold since then, but has made up her mind that she want's to pursue this nursi...

No desire to ever live in the Peoples Republic of Kalifornia. As far as having her foreign transcripts evaluated, she has gone through this before. She has a BS in Computer Science from a school in the Philippines. She once had to send the transcript...

May have problems in some states, but it don't seem to be a big problem here in Florida. My wife would be happy to attend the University here in Florida for the purpose of getting her BSN, but the problem is that at any given date, there are 250 stud...

Just to add .... My Filipina wife was applying for a BSN program at a university here in Florida. A requirement for admissions was that she had to have here transcripts from her school in the Philippines evaluated by a company in Miami called "Josef ...

Seems like the requirements to work as an RN are all different from state to state for nurses that have graduated from nursing schools outside of the US. My wife was born in the Philippines, but is now a US citizen. We live in Florida. She wants to g...

Thanks ... I had no idea. I will try looking for that forum Any idea what the forum is titled?

Thanks 'caliotter3' for the input. Is applying for an RN license different for persons graduating from a school in the Philippines vs a person graduating from a school in the US? They both have to pass the NCLEX-RN exam, but what more would be involv...

ok123 .... Good questions, unfortunately I don't have your answers. My Filipina wife is in somewhat of the same situation as you are in, however, she has never been a nurse of any type before. My wife is also a US citizen and has a BS degree in Compu...

My wife was born in the Philippines (where she spent most of her life), but is now a US citizen. We are currently living in Florida. She has a BS degree in computer science, but now wants to be an RN. Do to the many people that are trying to get into...

This is my first post, so a big Hello to everyone. :) I am an American living here in the Philippines with my 27 year old Filipina wife (she is a Filipino citizen and has never been to the US before). She has a 4 year BS degree in Computer Science bu...

again, thank you all for all the information you have given me. i can tell you one thing ... this nursing career my wife was thinking about is 'on the back burner' now. i would like to say that i posted some of these same questions on another message...

thank's everyone or the frank answers to some of my questions. just go to any filipina chat room or one of those filipina dating sites and you will quickly see lots of scammers. the majority of these girls will ask you to send them money within the f...

Thank you all so much for all the replies. Someone stated: That it might be best or her to get her RN degree in the U.S. avoiding the "rediculously high interntional fees" .... I was led to believe that getting a BSN right here in the Philippines wo...

With all these negative posts about newly graduated nurses who are either working for next to nothing at some Filipino hospital or having zero to very little luck finding a nursing job in the U.S. after they graduate here in the Philippines, I am hav...

Thank's for the fast reply ... You state that "If she does her nurse training in the US" ... Do you mean her On-The-Job (OJT) training in the U.S. after she gets her RN degree here in the Philippines? I know a doctor needs to do an internship at a ho...
