hey, why do u want to work as a nurse when u r a doctor. I believe you can hunt a job in US as a doctor, but clear there state license to practise or try canada.route to US is easy via canada.or else you can hunt a small study course but i believe that would be expensive.good luck
2 :
Sorry, a nurse has their own licensing and education requirements; as do most therapists (physical, respiratory, occupational etc) and Lab technologists. You would have to apply & complete at least a 1 year program to become someone in the Allied Health fields & take the specific exams.

Study Nursing in philippines or stay in USA
Study Nursing in philippines or stay in USA?
Should i Stay here in USA to get my AS degree in nursing (RN) or is it better for me to go to the Philippines? At this point of my life i am a little confused in what decision i should make. Should i stay here in the US and become an RN or should i go back to the philippines and become an RN? How long would it take me to become an RN in the philippines vs how long it would take to become one here in the US? I am not asking for BSN. Serious Answers please. this is a very big decision for me since going to Phils will have many sacrifices to make.

stay here. imagine if you take your nursing course in the Philippines. when you graduate there and come back in the USA. you still have to take some couse and pass the exam here. you will be wasting some time. i did not say a lot of time but some and your effort when you come back to the US. my Aunt have to take some more course and have to take the board exam and license when she came to the US.

money wise - Philippines education wise - USA but for your convenience, USA...

You are already in the US. Stay there, study there. Believe me, it is better in the long run.

To be honest with you, I am not sure you have the aptitude to become a nurse, much less a registered one at that responsible for making logical, informed and quick decisions under stress to protect the life of many patients simultaneously. Why? a) Perhaps the way at which you think strangers on YA Philippines could actually point you in the right direction career wise scares me a little; b) Your reasoning is faulty. If, as you said, you will make many scarifices in choosing to go back to the Philippines to take up nursing as compared to just getting the degree in the US--then why is the former even an option? The choice seems to be crystal clear, right? Again, there's little chance I would ever want you to be taking care of my if I become a patient--unless you wise up first. My advice? Find out why you want to be a nurse; does it jive with other nurses you know? Do you have the mental aptitude to do well in nursing school and subsequently in the line of duty afterwards? Do you have the emotional maturity to care for others and spend long odd hours at work? Do you? You are ultimately the only person who knows the answer.

Acctually nursing graduates of the philippines have lost their dignity because of the board exam leakage that happen a couple of years back. It will be hard getting a recognition if you graduate in the phils And some people are telling "moneywise=phils" For me the quality of education given to the student on most of the universties is not worth the cost

I have personally observed a Doctor here in the Philippines that went to the USA only to become a RN. He said it was the only way he could go there to better his career. He still had to take a short course nursing altho he was a good certified Dr. here. If you come here to go to nursing school you will still have to retake it there in the USA so why come back?
7 :
If you pursue in the Philippines I think you have to pass the PRC (Professional Regulation Commission) Test there in order to take the NCLEX in the US. If that's true then I would say no! Because the PRC only pass the top 40% test takers for 2009. As a result competition to pass the PRC is extreme at the far right side of the bell curve. Further in addition to competiting against the graduating nurses for the top 40, you also have to beat out all the retesters. Further, you can't really take the ASN in the PI, only the BSN, so if you're concerned only on time then ASN in the states is for you at two years. In the PI it would be 4 years for the BSN. The only benefit in attending college in PI is the lower tutition, but be warned as foreign students (those with foreign passports) have to pay a higher foreign rate to attend college and can only attend specific schools designated for foreign students. Other issues would be something like Air Conditioning as many classrooms do not have AC, so you can expect hot days in school. School starts in June and ends in March as summer is Mar Apr May. Best luck.

Pls just stay at US cos salaries of nurses here aren't high as you expect.

Yes, online would be cheaper, but nothing beats the experience you will get if you actually go to class on campus.
3 :
You cannot become a nurse online.Nursing school involves going to classes, doing skills labs and working in clinical settings to gain hands on experience. A legitimate accredited nursing school requires that you go to classes.No online program would result in a nursing degree. You cannot get a US degree from another country.You would have to go to the US to do it.

The on-line programs initially would be cheaper, however, just like a traditional university, each kind of education whether online or traditional has its costs and benefits. Cost differences: Traditional and Distance Learning: Most three credit-hour courses online run from $700 to $900 - a charge that's roughly comparable to the fees at most mid-range traditional schools. That means that a full online degree, including textbooks and other supplies needed, will probably require an investment of about $7,500 per semester, or about $30,000 total. Certificate programs, even at a fairly high professional level, can cost less because they involve fewer courses. For example, a certificate degree in supervisory skills at Cornell eLearning, a top school, currently costs about $5,000. It requires 11 courses. There are several ways to defray this cost. If you are employed, particularly by a mid to large-sized company, you may be able to get the company to fund some or even all of the cost of online college courses. The federal government, which has traditionally given grants only to on-campus students, has shown more flexibility in recent years about giving financial aid to online students. Don't wait until the last minute before finding out what your credit hours will cost. Many schools charge late application fees, late payment fees and other charges to people who apply just before school starts. You can keep your degree affordable by learning about "hidden charges" like graduation fees and other charges that don't seem to make sense before signing on to your online school. Traditional college tuition, including books, maintenance fees and supplies, can run up to $20,000 each year for a public four-year university. Those looking to attend a private university can expect this cost to increase to around $80,000 per year. The tuition for the same four-year degree in an online college or university will still include maintenance fees, tuition and book fees. However, room and board cost will not be necessary. Room and board at a traditional public four-year college typically costs up to an additional $50,000. For a private university, the costs are more than doubled at over $100,000. This includes transportation costs as well. Good luck
