Stay Phils or go back to the US?

Published

Hello Everyone.

I am currently studying here in the Philippines getting my pre-req and now I am contemplating what to do.I am away from my husband we are based in Guam and now my husband is there working and I am here in the Philippines to get my Nursing degree.I just want to finish my studies here because theres a lot of student and waiting list is ridiculous in Guam.Plus education here in the Phils is cheaper as we all know.

My question is ,Is it Okay for me to finish my 1st -2nd year here and just apply LVNin the US? We are from Florida we just based in Guam for 4 yrs and we still have 2 more years till 2014 to finish my husband's contract eventually we are going to move back to florida.

Is there any one here who studied abroad or here in the Philippines and just finish 2 yrs or associate degree . Can I just apply a LVN or LPN license and transfer my grades from my school here? I am wondering If I can do that. Its just hard to explain what I am feeling right now being away from my husband is really hard too plus I read a lot of things from other BSN grad from here that theyare having a hard time finding a job or getting a ATT or authorization to take the exam for NCLEX in CALIFONIA.

I am just scared that Im gonna waste my time ,money and being away for my husband I f I continue my studies over here Im on my 1st year now and wants to finish atleast 2 yrs in NURSING so I can transfer most of the classes I took here and just continue my studies in Florida or APPLY a LVN/LPN license?

Please anyone help me If you have encountered someone who did this route?

again 2yrs in nurisng degree suppsoedly 4yrs will just finish 2yrs or associate degree then plan to have my grades evaluate to any evaluation office in US. AND CAN I just a license or take a state board exam(NCLEx)? pls help.

I appreciate your help! :)

Hello Guys just wondering do you know someone who studied here in the Philippines for One year and transfer all the classes in the States? Do you think if I want to just continue my school in the states they will credit all my subjects that I took? I'm just wondering if I can just have all my grades evaluated through CES evn if I just studied for a year. I already took some pre-req for BSN program. Pls let me know..I appreciate your helpful response ...Thank you guys:)

Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

I suspect it will depend on the school to whether they accept credits or not in the same way credits are accepted from within the US
