⌛ St.Paul University: Top Performing School in the latest Nurse Licensure Examination

Yes thats about right the final 2 years are about 50k per sem not including extras.A lot of hospital duty during the final year

 

O.k...Divine is popular in Tagbilran for nursing and its the best school. I took my class in University of Bohol not in a nursing field. That was in 2000. Thanks for the reply.

 

Thank you for all the answers to my questions. But I have few more. After a person graduated from a course (nursing) is it guarantee that he/she can get a job? Is St. Paul University help student to get a job? Thank you again and I appreciate in info.

 

Yikes! After shelling out all that loot, graduates will be forced to become OFWs in order to recoup the investment that they or their families have made.

I hope that they are mentally prepared to accept that nursing enjoys neither prestige nor financial reward in most first world countries. They may also wish to mentally prepare for a disappointment and to stand in line behind their more qualified doctor colleagues, who are competing for the same jobs.

 

sure ... at Lee Plaza... :p (joke na lang)

Of course St. Paul and other facilities are well positioned in the PI, so you have good chances for your application in medical facilities inside the PI.

but serious, the paper you get for that much investment is internationally not much more worth than a used stamp from Burkina Faso if it comes to international recognition.

It may help help a bit for applying for a "job" abroad, but most likely not in the field you studied hard for a long time, unless you take additional courses and exams for a international recognition of your graduation.

There are exceptions out there, but not very many. I actually only heard stories of someone who knows somebody who did... and after digging deeper it was a domestic - helper job ...

still, after all, as the dream of many people here is to go abroad, it might help a bit to fulfill that dream.

 

No. After graduating you still need to take board examination in Manila or Cebu and that cost onother few thousand pesos

 

Also dont forget most graduates take a review for 3 months and sometimes 6 before their board exam

 

It sounds like a pain in a butt...lol...........with all the hard work that students go through still not good enough :D. For those people who are trying to get a job in the US, I wish them luck.

 

personally i think taking up nursing nowadays would not be a smart move for upcoming students. although they may say that the health industry is recession-proof, i think its harder now to go abroad than it was the previous years.

 

There are a lot of nurses and Dr's here in the states that are filipino. The nurses may not make as much as the Dr's but there is work and the pay is as pretty good. You may also be required to certify here to obtain credentials but I would not consider the education you received the PH a waste as it should prepare you to be able to certify quickly.

The thing to remember about working in the states is there is a much higher cost of living here and the taxes will come out of your check before you see it. That can be a shock for first time workers. I remember when I first told my wife what my salary was she wondered how I could possibly spend that much every month. After she got here and went with me to the grocery store and saw the prices, and saw the amount of the bills paid every month she understood things better.

Then she got her first job and 1/3 of the check was gone to federal and state taxes SS. Then when you spend the money you pay sales tax etc.

I'm not complaining just want to illustrate a fuller picture of what to expect.
