I know Trinity is a lil bit mre expnsve than other schools around.. but im mre comfrtble applying here because of their us based program and standards.

They are based in the US? But affiliated with the Philippines? Is the school located in the Philippines but clinicals are in the US? If you're in CA then they wont accept that form of education and it's stated on their website. You may want to save time and money and just get your education where it wont be questioned and wint be so time consuming. Good Luck
oh, i was wrong to say it's us based. It's located in the Philippines and accepts us citizen who will be automatically eligible to take nclex. They are recognized for having us standard nursing program. The school is an alternative for students who dnt want to be waiting on the impacted nursing programs here in US.

Trinity's nursing program is well-respected in the Philippines. The school consistently performs higher than average in terms of passing rate in the NLE (Philippine board exam for RN's). They're also affiliated with St. Luke's Medical Center, a renowned tertiary hospital in the Philippines that's known to meet US standards in providing care and is also Joint Commission International-accredited. However, both of these institution are based in the Philippines, thus, the school follows a curriculum approved by the Philippine government. In the US, their graduates are considered "International-Educated" just like any graduate from other nursing schools in the Philippines. As an IEN, you will still be required to comply with all the requirements for all nurses educated outside the US. If you have to study nursing in the Philippines, this school is definitely one of the highly recommended programs.
