I suspect it is much less than studying in the US. However, be aware, licensure there is not acceptable here... you would still have to sit for the nursing boards here to get a nursing license here, and to do that you have to attend a school in the US. So, if you are planning on going there just to get a nursing license, be aware, the only place it will do you any good is in the Phillipines, not anywhere else.

Depends on what school you'll be going to. Ateneo for example has just opened up med school. In San Beda college, where my cousin studies, It's 50k-70k.

as someone living in the Philippines a rough estimate would be around Php 490,000 for a well-known nursing school around the metro manila area that includes book fees. all that would be subjective depending on the exclusivity of the school in more exclusive schools consider adding a 30% increase in the price tag and a 40% decrease to those schools which are not that famous in the nursing field. although there are different professional regulatory exams for nurses abroad esp. in America there are now many review centers which offer courses of American based nursing licensure exams. also, these exams can be taken here in the Philippines via the web

Assuming you know Tagalog and have relatives near a school that you might attend. Remember the exchange rate is in free fall and a dollar will only buy about 40 pesos these days. Tuition, fees, and books are only a part of the expense. There are uniforms, school T shirts, etc. And you cannot get away with not buying the T shirts--peer pressure. Without lunches you are looking at $1,000 US and up--a lot cheaper than schools here. That is PER SEMESTER!! So you could say $8,000 total at the current exchange rate. And when it is time for the Kaplan review for the nursing board, it is only $300 there. Check on the pass rate for the school before you start. There are a lot of diploma mills in Manila and I suppose in the rest of the country. If the pass rate is under 70% on the first try, then find another school
