Student from US in search of a Nursing school in Philipines.

Published

I've been lurking around this website & I find it quite useful.

Hello! My name is subzer0. I'm here to inquire about Nursing schools in the Philippines. I already finished my General Education here in the US & I plan to pursue my studies in the Philippines. And I'm looking for a school that will credit my subjects I took here in the US and preferably a school that offers trisemester or 4semester as long as I finish my nursing degree hastily(2-3yrs) in the Philippines. Location preferably in Manila. What school would you recommend?

So far I inquired about UST & I was told that they may credit my subjects I took already in the US & they wanted me to start as a freshman which is not doable for me. As for citizenship, i will have no problems per se since I'm already a dual citizen. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thank you very much.

im just like you before.. im from the US too.. i was in the same position as you before looking for schools in manila who will credit my other subjects from the US.. and my only goal was just to get a diploma. schools that i know are pchs, perpetual, unciano, lanting college, st jude (?).. but i chose pchs. i graduated in pchs.. i got my diploma there, i applied nclex without problem in california. i know a lot of people from US (not just me) who studied in pchs and applied to nclex california without problem. im not giving advise that you should go there, im just sharing my experience.. it's still your choice..

why would someone from US want to study in the Phil?

Try New England College, 40 Quezon avenue Quezon city. nec.edu.ph Their website Ain't updated though

I am one of their product. When I was studying there I had classmates who were from California and other states who were already LPN's and finishing their BSN degree at the College. Their Lectures were all pure online and the time that I got to be classmates with them were during our clinical exposures. The students from CA and other states were all given full credits for the courses (subjects) that they took in the US. I think the current group of foreign students are at Batch 5.

Some of the students were US army and navy nurses. :yeah:

International students outnumber the local students at the school.

I graduated and reviewed at NEC for my local NLE and I am proud that I made it with flying colors. By the way, I was an international student in the US - (NY) studying a different major , NEC credited all of my subjects, plus they allowed me to fully load on subjects as long as I sign a waiver. The waiver is for you to agree that yes you advanced a subject while taking the prerequisite subject, but if you fail the prerequisite then you fail the advanced subject as well. So, if you want to finish your NSG education ASAP, then I guess it is doable but sacrifice on your social life is a must.:up:

Thanks for your response and thanks for chatting via YM. :)

why would someone from US want to study in the Phil?

Its all about preference. :)

Hi. I'm a March 2010 graduate of Trinity University of Asia and just found out last Friday that my school has this new program for Fil-Ams. I'm not sure though how it really works but I "think", fil-ams get to finish their nursing degree earlier (I think a year ahead) so that makes 3 years of schooling. You just have a more expensive tuition fee. Like from a normal student (who won't undergo that new program) is about P 20,000, the fil-am pays like up to P 72,000. You have to call or go to the school directly to verify with the program. But I do hope that would help.

thank you for the info :)

Im a fil am currently going to UERM right now. They will credit all your classes although since ur from a diff country you will have to pay 1000 DOLLARS as "donation" to the school even though you are dual! Tuition is about 50 to

60 grand per semester or it depends on the

Classes youre taking. Also, indoubt that you will finish school in 3 years. Their curriculum in the philippines is completely different to california. Youre going to have takr filipino and pe... Pretty much useless subjects.

FEU credits classes except for "major" classes like anatomy, and nutrition, but you wouldnt have to pay the donation fee.

I heard ust and chinese general do not credit classes.

This is from my experience. I personally think classes are esasier here

But my advice to you is

Just finish there! Good luck

I hope it helps!

what do u mean by donation? u must pay what u intended to pay which is your tuition fee and miscellaneous fees like labs, clinical rotations, etc. i havent heard of donations as part of the miscellaneous.
