Thread for Filipino Nursing Students

Hi Guys,

I'm also a non-allied 2nd courser student.

I'm currently creating a research about the difficulties encountered by "non-allied" 2nd courser taking up nursing course. Can you help me get articles regarding the topic, or you may want to share some of your experiences.

Thank you so much for your help!

Congrats & Good Luck to all of us!

Regards,

hi everyone! im also a second courser! i came from medicine (til 3rd year med proper) but i never got to finish because i started a family and it's actually quite a long story. (maybe i'll share the whole story next time)

im 23 and im going to enroll this coming school year as a 3rd year nursing student. my main reason for shifting to nursing is for me to have a career in the medical field when i go to the US and be with my husband who is on green card there. because we all know it's hard to be an MD in the US what with all the insurance liabilities. and it will take a longer process if i continue with my career as a doctor. right now my priority is my family and my main goal is for our family to be together.

goodluck to all the nursing students out there reaching for their dreams especially to the 2nd coursers who have the courage to pursue a new path in their lives. it's really never too late for anyone.

let's all be there for each other until we get to the top. i hope i can be of help to anyone and also get advice from you all when i need one.

uy hello fellow filipino nursing (and 2nd course) students!!! i'm so happy to have found this forum and this thread! good luck to all of us!

Any SN's from the Philippines? Post here!

I'm on my last semester and will be graduating this March 2006.

Wahooo!!! A few more steps and my journey to the real world begins...

good luck to you..may you have the best of everything... and ingatz...

hi Guys! I came across this forum when I am desperately looking for some information about getting a second degree in nursing in the Phil. I told myself why not try this forum, it wont hurt right? and upon reading all your messages and replies, it gave me hope that this forum would help me sort out things in my mind. Right now, i am looking for a school that can accept a second courser like me. I am still here in the US but planning to go home this April. I can only stay in the Phil. the most is 2 years, since Iam not a US citizen yet. so do you know any school that can help me finish the course in two years? how about the phil. board exam, do you have any idea what month/s does PRC give the nursing licensure examination, I know one is in December. Do I have to take the Phil. Licensure Exam prior to taking NCLEX-RN though I am an immigrant? any help/info. from you guys will be highly appreciated. I am so anxious about this idea bec its a big gamble for me, I'll be leaving a good job and my family, too!

Hi!Nice to read your message,it gave me hope to push through my plans of going back to the Phil to take up nursing, anyway, my 1st course is dentistry..mukhang may pag-asa sa nursing dito sa US... I have a 7months old little boy, and he'll come with me pag-uwi ko. Hopefully I could find a school, kelan ba ang exam ng nursing?what day in June usually?dont know if I need to take exam after finishing the course though I am an immigrant, any idea?I am only allowed for 2 years to stay after that I need to go back to the US, so baka di ko makuha ang yung exam ng June,yun ang worry ko if ever I need to have a lic. to show in my application later...GOOD LUCK sa exam. try to start gathering your notes and read them if you have time that would help you refresh what you have learned from the past years and set a time table for each subjects that is included in the exam... this work for me whenever I take any board exams (US or Phil.)

Hi! Here2care...what a relief when I got a message that somebody replied to my message, YUP! I am new in this site too! I came across this when I am about to panic since I already submitted my application for my re-entry permit, and if I need to take the local board - it will never be possible since I cant extend my stay, that made my situation different from you, you're much more lucky than I do being a US citizen, anyways, can you tell me where you are enrolled right now?and how can I get in touch with the school?I am still here in the US working part time and waiting for the response fr. USCIS. I plan to fly end of April,will that be enough time for me to prepare for everything?thanks in advance for any help you can extend to me...appreciated it very much! GOD BLESS YOU TOO!

Hi! grr guess what, i replied to your msg but i kept getting disconnected. and it was quiet a long reply too. so to prevent this from happening again, why not we chat instead. i don't mind at all. i hope you have yahoo. and i think it will be easier for the both of us and so we can be direct with your concern. I'm here in West Negros College, Bacolod City.

Hope i can be more of help! take care now! God Bless!
