Question definitely is unrelated to the topic of this thread. Just my 2 cents, I say better stick to your job now... you can say nursing more like is a sinking.... too many nurses, and these number of nurses, working, unemployed as well as nursing students, are enough to fill the number of needed nurses in the workforce for the next years to come. Its not worth going back to nursing, be practical. I know a lot of people who went to different fields, and they like it better, realizing they just took up nursing just to be able to go to the US, or Canada or the UK...

Your job now pays the bills! Be practical. I'm sure you are able to help your family back in the Philippines. Its time you look into other profession. Nursing in the Philippines is just a passport to be able to migrate to other countries, thats the sad reality.

Your query is out of the topic. It's about Master's degree. I don't want to sound like a moderator (for I am not), but let us practice courtesy to the original posters. Don't cover their topic with your query.

Anyway, regarding your question, It's all up to you and your priorities. Do you have a family to make a living for? Could you survive for a long time being jobless here in the Philippines? Do you have a network of support people who you can call when funds get low? Those are some of the questions you should answer yourself. No one here can say that "do this do that". At the end of the day, you will be the one facing the results of your actions. I do know I sound like I'm angry, but I'm not. Just presenting reality. Hope this helps.

God bless you on your pursuit.
