Thread for Filipino Nursing Students

let me set the record straight, the special bsn program and the old program's the same in terms of clinical rotation/duty and major subjects taught. the clinical hours rendered too are the same as before. the only difference is that the minor subjects are lessened (which i believe doesn't matter as the school got its deregulated status years ago so it could enrich or delete minor subjects according to how they want it.) but it will not affect the quality of the nursing education in any way because it is still the same. during my time, the second coursers (like me) and those who just got out of high school were put in one classroom. but now, they are separating the second coursers from those who just got out of high school. it is assumed that for second coursers, they already took their basic subjects before (of course a transcript must be presented to verify this) so they just have a few minor subjects to take. and so they are being grouped together now. i hope you see the picture clearly. are you saying that just because they separated the second coursers from the people who just got out of high school, it automatically means that it is an accelerated program? so if you combine them together again, one could then easily say that it is not an accelerated program??? it was never called an accelerated program as far as i know---so it's not an accelerated program. i wish you well in your studies. have a pleasant day. but if you're very interested with the program that i posted, it would be best to talk to a school official so that he/she can answer your concerns best. happy weekend! :)

thanks for kindly responding. had i known about this two years ago, i may have decided to study nursing there, too.

it think "accelerated" is attached to the degree program because unlike the regular bsn program, the prospective student, being a bs degree holder, isn't expected to take social science courses that usually form the core of any bs degree. you go straight to the "meat" of the program. i understand why you're emphatic on this matter as some people could interpret "accelerated" as shortened clinicals (cutting corners). i believe accelerated bsns around the u.s. observe the same principle, too. that's non-negotiable.

have a good one.

Is the school you guys talking about is PWU? I am intereted in this university. I plan to enroll here for this school year. I think their program has started already last year. They are open for entrance examinations everyday until the end of May. It is a trimestral program and you can finish it in 2 years including 1 summer.

regarding the books... naa na kay NANDA approved nursing diagnoses... imptanted jud na... pero sa uban pangutana nalang sa inyong CI.. diri na lang.. hehe... hope to hear from you more

renge, usj-r

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!

Personal e-mail address removed for your safety. Feel free to share it via pe]Dear here2care,

I am interested to enroll at West Negros College.I am a second courser.Do you have any idea how long will it take for an allied science graduate to finish BSN? Thank you?

If ur second courser u will take BSN for 2 1/2 years with summer but it varies from school but i think it's the longest if ur 1st course is related to nursing. better go to the school we're u plan to study so they could evalute your credentials and they will say how long you will take the course.

Hi everyone. I'm quite new here and just started taking up Nursing. I wanted to be a teacher before but just recently realized that I want to be a nurse instead. One thing I've noticed from many graduating Nursing students is that alot of them need to learn the English language because they write papers that are so hard to comprehend. I'm planning to help my friends with this by setting up some kind of English class on our free time. I know this will help alot when it's time to take the exams, which will all be in English ofcourse. There's a bad habit of Pinoys memorizing and not understanding so I hope that those who need help in this field will realize this early and do something about it. Just my 2 cents.

Hello, just to let you know that Fatima is already a UNIVERSITY...

hahaha that's what it says on my school id

Our Lady of Fatima University... but I'm attending the Lagro branch.

Hi everyone.

I'm new to the Nursing field and impatient as I am, just have some questions for those who have the time to answer.

For those who have passed the CG and NCLEX and the Phil. board, what type of grades did you get in college?

For those who have graduated from OLFU Lagro, how long does it take before you get your transcripts after graduation?

What do I do next right after graduation? I plan to work in Nevada because all of my family and relatives are there. I'm the only one here with my 2 kids. Do I apply directly or are there agencies that can give me a job in the Reno-Sparks area of Nevada?

Are there nurses here who have kids? Was it hard to bring them along with you? What steps did you have to take?

Also, how do you guys cope with dealing with a dead body? I'm not afraid of needles or blood, not even seeing someone under surgery but I'm so afraid of dead people. Is there a field in nursing that's not likely to deal with dead bodies?

Also, what is Suzanne4's tips on reviewers?

I guess that's all for now. All I can say right now is that someone really has to have the brains and the drive to be a nurse. Nursing is a new course to me being an Education student, and so far my life has been really busy. Imagine going to school 730 am and getting out 730pm...

Thanks in advance to those who will reply.
