Weighing my Best Option-Would Love To Hear Your Opinion

World International

Hello guys,

I have been reading this forum and it has evidently a lot of useful information we all could use. Anyway, I just got my US Citizenship, and I am planning to apply for a dual citizenship, since I was born and raised in the Philippines. And, I have been seriously contemplating on going back to P.I. and pursue a degree in BSN. Like some people here, BSN would be my 2nd degree, should I pursue.

I will be coming back to P.I. along with my 2-year old daughter who is a US Citizen. Actually, we haven't come up with a definite decision yet. But weighing the pros and cons, it would be more likely that we go home. My husband will have to stay here and support us in P.I.

My folks are from Misamis Oriental in Mindanao, so most likely, I would like to study where it wont be too far away from them; knowing the fact that my daughter will be with me and I may need some assistance here and there from them. The closest city where we live is in Cagayan de Oro City. And I wonder if there is anyone in here, who had studied and finished BSN in Liceo de Cagayan or Xavier University in Cagayan de Oro? Would you know if they accept a second degree courser as well as their NCLEX passing rates? Anyone who are now here in the States coming from these schools? How much is the tuition fees? The reason I ask is I just wanna make sure that it will be worth the time and money spent, should I study in one of these schools? Also, my options are not very limited to these schools. I am willing to explore studying like Davao city, if there are any excellent schools, you could help me recommend??? Trimester schools would be very ideal but I can do just a regular set-up,too, should it be an excellent one.

A few more things; I plan to practice nursing in Texas State. Would you know, if after completing BSN, do I have to take a local nursing board exam in the Philippines? And also the NLE? and other more tests?

I know, when I graduate, I will be forever treated as a foreign nurse grad, but knowing the fact that my dream can happen sooner, then its all worth it.

Any inputs, opinions and advise are welcome.Thanks.
