Review Centers in the Philippines

Published

Please make sure that your center is using nurses that have been licensed in the US, and hold a current license if they are preparing you for working in the US. And have actually worked in the US.

Memberships in any organizations in the US, or even a relationship supposedly with, such as the American Heart Association mean absolutely nothing in terms of preparing you for working over here.

Do not choose a center just on its name, but on the instructor that will be preparing you. Make sure that they are who they say they are, and can deliver what they promise to, or ask for your money back. And get it back.

This thread was started in response to several pms and e-mails that I have received concerning this happening in Manila. Do not get caught in a scam.

Whether it is with a review center or an agency, if you are getting taken advantage of, REPORT IT to the proper authorities that can do something about it. No one should get taken advantage of.

You are very welcome. :)

I am just very tired of seeing nurses getting taken advantage of by unscrupulous people.

Also, ask them what their pass rate is for the students that have gone thru their program. And ask for documented proof..........

I sent you a pm, I looked up that lecturer, and his license has been revoked, meanign taken away by the Board of Rgistered Nursing in CA, so shame on him for giving everyone all that garbage about what he can do. He can't even call himself an RN in the US, as he no longer holds that title, it was stripped from him.

So as another warning to all of you, make sure that your trainer has the credentials that they say that they do.:)

Sorry, but forget about that. All of you are getting taken advantage of. Any training that you need will be given to you by the facility where you will be working.

My personal opinion, if you think it is sounding too good to be true, or is shady, contact the source, such as the Board of Registered Nursing and check out this company. I am sure that the BRN would be very interested in seeing their logo used overseas.

Save your money.:)

mis suzanne! How and where can I complain at the American heart? I can't find an email address at their website...

You can look up American Heart Association on the web and get their address for their national headquarters. You can try AHA if you cannot find it spelled out.
