Review Centers in the Philippines

World 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.

I sent you a pm, I looked up that lecturer, and his license has been revoked, meanign taken away by the Board of Rgistered Nursing in CA, so shame on him for giving everyone all that garbage about what he can do.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.:)

Who is this lecturer? Because I met the owner of USA link, We paid them in cash, we taught that he is a good lecturer. he even asked us to donate P500 for the review materials, he said that its not included on our tuition fee. then we found out that the materials came from one book only and it costs only P300. we were not satisfied on his lectures because 70% of our time in the classroom, he mostly talked about his life. sa after 3 days of attendance we decided to stopped attending his review. we asked him to reimbursed our tuition fee since we decided to stopped attending his lecture, guys believe me he is no good. And am not sure if he is really a licensed USRN

Are you talking about joey dee? i attended his ACLS training for P1000 and we're about more than 150+ students there. Stated in the certificate is that USA LINK is a sister company of Pacific Education Center, LA and is an approved provider for continuing education by the Ca BON.

He said he is a certified BLS, ACLS, PALS intructor; American Heart Association.

Sad to say Pacific Education center is a HOAX... It has case filed I think in the States... Wherein the company allegedly got money from the students promising it as a stock or share for a company then becomes a education center which is not legitimate... USA link is not even registered as a legal business in manila and does not pay tax... Sadly many schools have also been duped by this... Heard many bad things from different schools and The owner has been stripped off his nursing license in the states... bad.... :angryfire

waaa i was also fooled by that man! last sept2005, i enrolled in his review worth P18000. I pay him P10000 and have a balance of P8000. Thank God i didnt pay him my balance! Imagine i wasted my money, time and effort attending to his useless class! Yeah.. because what he discuss in class is his whole life story! I dont care of about his life story! So after a few days of attending his class, I decided not to attend anymore! It was such a waste of time.. I also attended his ACLS training! Whew! It was worth P2500 and held at Heart Center of the Philippines that is why i attend the training. He gave us a certificate and told us that he will give us an ID(gosh where is the ID?!!).. I feel so bad... too many people were fooled by this man! one more thing! He is saying bad things about other review centers/instructors! so guys out there... beware of going to review centers.. make sure they are reliable and worth the money! He said that he has an immigration consultancy office at CA. I wonder if it's true!

If youre looking for a good review center that can help you pass and reach your dreams, try KAPLAN! It's the best! Im using it right now.. You can have a choice: class or online... Im using Kaplan online...Though it's expensive, my money is really worthy! Im gaining more confidence for my upcoming exam on June.. The advantage of having an online review is that you can manage your own time and you dont have to think of your expenses in going to a class (dorm, fare and food)... your time is yours.. But if you think you still need the help of an instructor, enroll in a class.. Goodluck to all test takers.. God bless...

I wonder where we can complain this guy? I don't know if he is still a US citizen... I also heard a school complained about him already... But worst of it there are still some other schools being fooled by him... I feel sorry for the other schools that are being victimized by him...

US Embassy in Manila, as well as the Board of Nursing, or its equivalent there, as well.

he didnt issue us an official receipt when we enrolled last september 2004 on his review center, if we could join hands, let us complain him he is such a liar. we really need to stop him or he'll keep on fooling nurses. how did someone learned that he is not paying taxes? How come some schools are not filing complaints against him, its true, all he could talk about is his life stories which i also doubt it. he is just good in convincing but a terrible lecturer (puro yabang lang! kapal talaga!)

yeah lets join hands to stop that man on fooling people! My friend told me that his business in recto is still running.. and the review is being held at NIA.. Let's complain to XXX or NBI hmm! Is it true that he's not paying taxes?.. I agree.. "puro yabang talaga" (he's really good in convincing people)..

A student there saw that the business permit he is using is not USALINK but a different company... Also if he is indeed a US citizen how can he conduct business in Manila? Then maybe he is a filipino citizen... then again he is cheating and fooling people... Also if he does not issue receipt he is still violating the Taxes... I think he thinks Filipinos are easier to be fooled well he must think again with his Karma...

hi suzanne!

im a registered nurse in the philippines

im planning to practice in new jersey where my aunt

lives so i need to take cgfns. im confused what review

center wouls i choose.

in kaplan they have 180 hours laboratory + 26 hours

boards, but i learned from some friends labagnoy is good in

cgfns while kaplan is good in nclex + gapuz is for local

boards... no doubt about that

also im looking for good resources for cgfns, right now im

so confused, no problem with the fee no problem with the

location... the only thing is which is better for cgfns?
