My parents dont want me to be a doctor or anything else. They just want me to be a nurse. Opinions?
Actually im a 2nd yr college student now. Taking up Nursing. my two other siblings are already nurses. Both didnt have a choice too. Ever since i was a child i was never asked of what my ambition in life is. My parents are simply DICTATORIAL. They told us to take nursing then after, "we can do whatever we want." So i graduated high school, i automatically enrolled for nursing. Now i love the medical world. My dad said before to skip manila. Cause im from a province. And now I said i think i wanna pursue medicine in Manila, Philippines after nursing cause "i thought i can do whatever i want". I belong to a quite rich family. Then my dad said NO. I SAID SKIP MANILA. YOU SHOULD GO ABROAD TO WORK AS A NURSE. So i felt a little discouraged. So my plan is, after graduating, il work abroad, earn enough money, then go back to manila and take up medicine all bymyself. What do you guys think? Am i making the right choice?

>>>So my plan is, after graduating, il work abroad, earn enough money, then go back to manila and take up medicine all by myself. <<< If that's what you want to do, go for it. It's not your parents' life. It's yours. .
2 :
Follow your dreams, and do what you want to do. Don't let your parents tell you what you can and can't do. If you want to become a doctor, become a doctor. It's your life, not your parents', and you can do what you want to do with it '
3 :
you have to do what you want to do. it's your life. and parents should be supportive of what you aspire for in your life. i say follow your dreams!
4 :
Do whatever you want. When your parents or someone else is paying the bill, you have to do what they say to some extent, but if you are paying the bills, YOU get to choose what to do. Life is a great adventure, so do what you feel your calling is.
5 :
Yep... do it... Better still... if you're able to... change RIGHT NOW!!!... Coz time is ticking... and don't waste another monent doing something that you're not passionate about. Tell your father that once you become a doctor, you can work as a nurse if you wanted too... (coz the Doctor is also a qualified nurse!!!). My guess is that you're a girl... And it's unfortunate that in many Asian countries, there is still so much sexism... I think your father is a sexist... he probably believes that all girls should be nurses and all boys to be Doctors. That's what my father was like... He want all his sons to be doctors, and his daughters to be nurses... We fought back.. and so my sisters are now not nurses by IT specialists and podiatrists. I ('m a male and) also fought back, and didn't become a doctor.. So.. in the end, it's your life... and as much as you love your father... he's not the ALL KNOWING person in this world... Start right now... go and ask someone about how to change your course to Medicine right now!!! Good luck
6 :
Well, it's YOUR life. When they get old, they'll regret it. Not calling your family dumb, but your siblings should've gone after what they wanted, i'd go with your plan, sounds pretty smart
7 :
You don' t have to become a nurse. Your parents shouldn't control what you want to be. It's your life. Shoot for the moon, and even if you miss, you'll still be amongst the stars.
8 :
You be what you want to be. Either one is a lot of study and lots of long hours and work. Go for what you want.
9 :
Do what you want, not what they want. Live your life to your ambitions, not theirs.

Would it be beneficial if my siblings in Los Angeles will provide me with an affidavit of support from U.S.
Would it be beneficial if my siblings in Los Angeles will provide me with an affidavit of support from U.S.?
I would apply for a tourist visa here in Manila. I was wondering if I would be given an approval if I submit an affidavit of support authenticated by the US Embassy in Los Angeles? Supporting papers would include an invitation letter. I am working for the government (contractual). My status is single, and a degree in Nursing. Thank you so much for your answers! God bless!

No. YOU need to show your intent to return to your home country, including property, bank accounts, job, and family ties. If you're single, and particularly a single female, from the Philippines, you'll have a very hard time overcoming the presumption that you intend to stay in the U.S.
2 :
A Tourist VISA would not permit you to have a job in the U.S. In fact with a tourist visa, having a job would be a crime and you would be immediately deported. You need an H-1B Work Visa. The H-1B Visa enables professionals in "Specialty Occupations" to make a valuable contribution to the American economy. A maximum of 65,000 H-1B Visas are issued every year. The H-1B Visa is issued for up to three years but may be extended. This provides a maximum stay of six years. The H1-B Visa holder can apply for a Green Card if a company wants to sponsor his or her application. If you are working for the government, you should not have any trouble applying for and getting an H-1B Visa. If you are not a professional, and common labor, then you need to apply for H-2B Visa. The H-2B Work Visa was created to allow people to come to the United States temporarily, mainly for non-agricultural jobs, in which the United States workers are in short supply. Up to 66,000 H-2B Visas are issued every year. This year's annual quota has not yet been reached. Prospects are good that H-2B Visas will remain available in future years.

It is a common practice for relatives in the U.S. to assure the visa office that they will provide support to an applicant for a visitor visa. Your relatives could provide you with form I-134 or a letter stating that the will provide you with room & board and spending money, and you could present the form or the letter at your visa interview. One of the basic requirements for eligibility for a visitor visa is showing that arrangements have been made to cover all expenses. A statement to that effect could be included in their invitation letter or it could be a separate letter written to: "To Whom It May Concern" or "Visa Office, Manila" There is no U.S. embassy in Los Angeles. U.S. embassies are outside the U.S.

During the Philippine Insurrection, Americans were both fighting Filipinos and giving them medical care. Why?
It's confusing. During the Philippine Insurrection (1899-1902), why will American nurses be assisting Filipinos (Americans had reserve hospital grounds in Manila) if Americans were the ones fighting them?

Our military's policy has always been that we'll kill you on the battlefield, but we don't believe in massacring defenseless, injured men. After we had taken them out of commission, there was no reason for us to kill them. We aren't barbarians, you know :)
2 :
There's someone just posting who is either Filipina or Malyaysian, who won't answer this question. I think my answer is the same as the other--they want to save lives.
3 :
Because our goal is to end conflict and suffering not just kill for the sake of killing. These people are some of the Best friends AMERICA as ever had. Many still serve in the US military today. Also medical care helps to win over the populous thru good deeds. Winning hearts & minds is what its called. We do the same in Iraq & Afghanistan today. Do enough good and you get people to side with US over the Taliban or other enemy.

Any organizations out there interested in helping abused animals in third world countries
Any organizations out there interested in helping abused animals in third world countries?
I live in the Philippines and it is not easy being a dog lover here.The number of stray, pin-thin, mangy dogs roaming the streets is horrendous. "Pounds" are cruel, they euthanize dogs through electrocution! Even the Manila Zoo is horrible! Rat infested and the animals like lions, bears haven't any pools to swim in. We have a local Animal welfare society but they are just not enough to help all the animals. I recently adopted a dog off the streets. He was full of scabies, anemic, had demodex mites, swollen lymph nodes, and was in poor shape. I nursed him to health (plus a lot of vet bills) and now he is a beautiful 6 month old doggie, companion to my nine year old minipin. I just want to know if there is any organization out there that would be willing to do something to help! I can only do so much on my own.

I'm not part of an organization but I can offer some advice... I'm sure you are not the only one in the Philippines or even your local area who feels this way. Talk to people. Set up things on the internet such as a Philippines animal welfare myspace page. Write to your government and state your concerns about the welfare of the animals. If you can gather enough people you may be able to start a little organization. It will be pricey and it may have to start out small. Just getting a few animals neutered and rabies may be a good start.

Medicine and nursing are completely different. I'm not sure what you mean by "taking medicine" but if you want to go to medical school, there are prerequisite classes you will have to take and do well in before you can apply (two semesters of biology and a lab, two semesters of general chemistry and a lab, two semesters of organic chemistry and a lab, two semesters of physics and a lab, genetics, biochemistry, etc.). Getting a degree in nursing will not help you get into medical school. Nursing and medicine have very different approaches to taking care of patients. If you want to go into nursing then get the nursing degree. But if you want to go into medicine, getting a nursing degree is not going to help you at all, so I would get a degree in something else, like biology or chemistry.

sorry but i dont knowmindanao avenure quezon.if you know how to get to any lrt station then you wont be having any problem.. just go ride lrt station, stop at pedro gil station.. from the station, go walk along pedro gil going paco,this is important-you might go to the other way going to robinsons--DONT.like i said, go along pedro gil street going paco, when you reach petron, go right. petron is corner pedro gil and f benitez.. pna is just the third building from petron...between petron and pna is iglesia ni cristo. you cant miss it.OR, if youre confused with my directions, heck im bad with it, when youre in pedro gil lrt station, just ask where PNA is!its a walking distance

When will NVC start issuing visa for 2008 in the EB3 category? They had been on retrogression for almost 2 yea
When will NVC start issuing visa for 2008 in the EB3 category? They had been on retrogression for almost 2 yea
The long wait for the Employment-based category visa issuance had been dragging for so long. I'm a registered nurse in the Philippines and I have passed all the tests that are required by my employer in Ohio. The last time NVC gave me feedback, they said that everything was completed and I am now waiting for myself and my family's interview date at the US Embassy in Manila.

there is no word for it... no notice or talks about it yet. so i guess... expect to wait for at least 6 months... most likely more.

I DO NOT KNOW if you watch local news reports on tv about nurses in the Philippines. At present, there are 187,000 Philippine nurses that are currently unemployed. Meaning they cannot find a job as a nurse. The one who will graduate next year is not yet included in these number. So imagine the newly graduate mixing with the present unemployed nurses. Many right?! DON'T YOU THINK YOU RATHER pass the board first before you embark on working with any hospital either as a nurse or a nursing aid. Why would you accept a job as an asst. nurse equivalent to a nursing aid? Just because you are not a board passer or you couldn't find a job? Don't you think you are degrading yourself this way? If you are currently in the UK or the US and you try to work as an asst. nurse in a hospital, they will give you the job as low as a janitor. Cleaning the toilet and taking out the garbage or the sh... in every ward. For you it might sound ok because you are working in a hospital anyway so what gives. THERE ARE NO hospital in the Calabarzon region or in Metro Manila that will hire asst. nurses at this particular moment. I will just suggest you try a different kind of job like call center or school nutrition asst. than work you way to a hospital down grading your status as a nurse because you haven't pass the board exam.

i strongly suggest you concentrate in your nursing studies. by the time you graduate (after 4 years), pass the board and start working, IF you still want to be a doctor, then enrol in any school of medicince. too early to think of your area of specialization. you still have to go through 5 years of med school before you can actually take classes leading to a specialized field (could take another 2-3 years). response to your email- medicine proper is 4 years of classroom study. when you graduate you are already called a doctor. but then you still have1 more year of practicum (internship) before you can take the board exams. it is only after you pass the board that you become a licensed doctor (OK to practice medicine). you cannot enter medical school directly from high school. you need to complete a course degree first, preferably a science course related to medicine. on a per unit hour basis, tuition for masteral degree is more epensive than for a bachelor's degree.

The first two years in Medicine would be studying the different branches then the third and fourth is your specialty however, if I were to choose I prefer to work with dead people and that is where you specialize pathology and study further. Being a pathologist makes a good earning granting you passed all the necessary requirements and being good at it. You will be better off if you take your internship in a public hospital because the chances of being able to study different cases are at your advantages.
3 :
You can take basically almost any bs course in science & then go to med school. Normally people go to bs bio, psych, other allied courses, even pt & yes if you want, nursing. If you are going to medicine, it would be practical to enter the school where you want to go to med in, say take nursing in la salle then med in the same campus. Phoenix mentioned that the first 2 years would be just regular med, you do not have to choose which field yet. And then after that, you can make up your mind. It would be good to take your med course in Manila, but as I have said, it would be better if you took your pre-med course in the same school as well.

Where do i get to go for casting calls for indie movie roles in manila
Where do i get to go for casting calls for indie movie roles in manila?
i live in manila and marikina (it depends if i have a hectic schedule at school) and i'd like to know where i can audition for roles in indie movies. im not a big fan of mainstream filipino movies. most of them are overrated, repetitious and shallow. not to mention having the usual cast of good-looking, well, just good-looking people. i know and am certain that i have a knackand passion for real acting and production ever since i started acting, directing and writing for school plays. now, im a nursing student from the university of sto. tomas, and still my love and respect for acting never diminished. actually, becoming a nurse is just part of my gameplan to becoming a serious actress. i dont know if you can figure that out, haha, but really it's all part of a realistic plan. recently one of the people i admire in the film industry dropped by at ust for a visit and to share his slew of excellent films which were nonetheless honored at different international filmfests. as a fan of mr. brillante mendoza and his works (of neo-realist genre), the idea of me acting in an indie film got me very excited. doing something you love in a category or field which you truly respect and admire is beyond dream come true. where do i get to audition for roles in indie movies in the philippines? i don't care about being cast as an extra or whatever, i believe that every role is important in a film and lastly, given that indie movies are not on full blown budgets, i dont give a damn about how much im gonna get paid. the experience of working with talented people is more than enough =). anybody who knows where i can audition for indie film roles, give me a buzz. you can answer this question or email me at jeyai_imbix04@yahoo.com thank you and god bless!!!

studying nursing in the philippines, did I make the right choice
studying nursing in the philippines, did I make the right choice?
ok so i decided to go to the philippines to study nursing. my demographics are: 18 years old, male, part filipino part chinese, speak about 3-4 languages, am a dual citizen for U.S. and philippines, and just transfered as being a 1st year in 2nd semester to a college in Davao city. i was born in quezon city, philippines, up in the north but my entire family is from the south in Davao City. the history was, after i graduated early from high school in california, i was very sure that i wouldnt be going to the philippines for college and made my way as a sophomore in college as my first year via AP and college courses from community college to San Francisco State University with my major as prenursing (i still had to apply for the nursing school). i had decent grades with a full load (19 units) on me at that time. but my parents really wanted me to go and study in the philippines along with my twin sister and my older sister because it was so much cheaper and my mom said that i can get my BS in nursing faster and if i wanted, i could even get my MSN there due to the economy going bad now especially when my dad will be laid off soon and my mom only working as a nurse. so after a period of being pressured so much i decided to follow their advise and i withdrew from my university wasting money (very expensive in san francisco) and my good grades. i never finished the first semester and immediately flew over to the philippines to begin the 2nd semester of my 1st year (i already had college classes that some got transfered over and recieved credit). Everyone in America says that getting into nursing school all over the country is hard to get into so thats why some of them go out of country to study and those that say studying in other countries such as india, nigeria, or other "poor 2nd world countries" wouldnt be credited to america since they are pretty biased, which is my guess since they havent even tried studying in another country and also shove the idea of education in america is so much better. but then if thats said, i ask myself why do we have people such as doctors with degrees from india and nurse practitioners with degrees from nigeria and eastern europe? i was postitive that it wouldnt happen to me yet i decided to play a gambling game to risk my future in going to the philippines to study. my mom says that it, the schools there, are all credited in america since she graduated from a college in Davao City with a major in nursing and is working as a nurse in america while all her kids are in the philippines. i still have yet to trust that statement but im still continuing my studies here no matter what. i promised myself that i wouldnt turn back, especially in my condition now and will just persevere through my studies here though lots of people envy and hate me for being from america and since im not of pure filipine origin by the looks that i get as a korean or a foreigner. lots of the people here are very judgemental and have a different psyche as compared to the north of the philippines, the south has a totally different environment and isnt really known well to many people outside the world since when they think of the philippines, Manila is ususally the first idea in their mind. many of the filipinos from the south dont even speak tagalog and will treat you different if you're from the north or if you're not white but of another asian origin, especially if you dont know how to speak cebuano. this is what i've experienced so far during my first few weeks of stay in the Davao. my question is, did i make the right choice in coming to study abroad and sacrificed so much such as my friends, my good life, and etc... to come to the philippines? my mom said that i made many sacrifices, and hell i even cried here, but nevertheless, in the future it will all be rewarded even better, i just need to make sure i go through tough times and perservere. its hard for me here because i chose not to go to prestigious and well known schools such as ateneo de davao or university of the philippines but i chose to go to a school where it is filled with transferees, drop outs, no foreingers except for me and my two siblings, and many of the people come from poor family backgrounds living in the dirt slums and provinces as far as the muslim lands. most of the dark skinned filipinos like to laugh and make fun of me bacause im chinese looking and always assume that im korean due to the fact that there are so many koreans and foreigners studying here for english and that i devote most of my time into studying, and when i make donations to the school, everyone assumes that i am immediately rich since i came from America which i am not and also because of the types of clothes that i wear. yet we all are nursing students who all want to work and live a better life abroad in the future and i also think to myself, how can they act that why when they live and work abroad? i doubt that they'll be successful since they all are just

You probably could have (as a US Citizen) done this just as cheaply and forgone your now having to take an NCLEX. THe only school in the Philippines that is recognized by ETS (The people who admininster AP tests in the US and graduate exams for universities) is the University of the Philippines. Nothing else. You could have finished Community College's nursing program and gotten established as a nurse. If your main question was "how can they act that why when they live and work abroad", the answer is simple. That is a fatal flaw in the character of the Filipino. THere are several stereotypes that fail to die among our people,and it usually indicates they're true - we love to sing (karaoke), we love drama (look at all the soaps on filipino television), etc.. On the flip side, we also like to gossip (such as in airing dirty laundry), and we suffer from Schadenfreude. That is, one filipino cannot stand to see another filipino more successful than they. Since you're in that country from what many of these poor people look at as "the promised land", you're going to get an expected level of scorn. Call it colleagial envy if you will. But ultimately, unless you fail miserably with the NCLEX, you'll be able to use your skills in nursing in the Philippines and practie your profession here.

19 units for a full load?! wow! back in the philippines mine was 30 units on average! anyway..... money-wise: YES practicality: YES Language: NO Crowd: NO in your case, sometimes, it depends School: not sure, you didn't mention the name of your school Education: not sure, you didn't mention the name of your school if your aiming for BSN, it's very practical to just get it in the Philippines because its cheaper for the same quality of education (assuming that you're in a good nursing school) you could get in an average nursing school in the US. However, there's so many sub-standard nursing schools sprouting like mushrooms in the philippines that you have to be cautious before enrolling yourself in. if you're in one of these schools, please find a better school; and with good high school grades or good current college grades, it should be easy to be admitted in a good nursing school as long as you have good entrance exam results as well. however, the best nursing schools in the philippines could also be discriminating to other nursing schools and may not accredit units from these schools. While it is true that US hospitals don't discriminate applicants based on what school they were in (as long as you meet the min req like passing the state board; and oh, yes they really don't, that's why there's so many foreign graduate nurses), it doesn't hurt to have the best education you could get. If you're planning to take MAN later on, it would be better to take it in the US. in my opinion, taking MAN without clinical experience and/or no exposure to the field is a definite no-no. your hospital training during your undergrad days just isn't enough, especially that nursing education in the philippines focuses more on the knowledge and concept and not on the hospital area. besides, only a few schools offer MAN where as there's so many in the US. if your going to take MAN, do it in the US while working. MAN classes have more flexible schedules in the US than in the Philippines. aside from that, you could earn more in the US. Why even work in the Philippines for just a wee fraction of what you could earn in the US? Unless you'd like to be one of those few filipino heroes who chose to work in the philippines. well, its your call. hmmm.... about the prejudice, i think you're being a little paranoid. there's so many east-asian looking filipinos out there. only the ignorant fools make fun of the unfamiliar. if you really couldn't handle it, you could transfer in a bigger city where there's less prejudice. if you can speak tagalog, you can transfer to manila. btw, you might have a very hard time on your community health nursing if you can't speak the vernacular language. if you could transfer to manila, there's lots of foreign students (esp chinese and koreans), fil-am (not necessay haffies), oh, and haffies too in some schools. not to mention having the same situation as you are in. some schools even offer special filipino classes for those who barely speak tagalog. for now, just ignore them. i'm sure you'll get used to it over time.

Nursing or Medicine for a US Citizen in College in the Philippines
Nursing or Medicine for a US Citizen in College in the Philippines?
I am a poor young married man from New York City, who is the only one in his immediate family who has ever finished college. I came to the Philippines to get another degree to support my sick wife and my brothers and sisters (abandoned by our parents). I send her money every month to support her. We have no children yet. I was attending University of San Carlos (USC) as an MBA (Master's Degree of Business Administration) student. Now I am planning to either study Medicine or Nursing (or Physical Therapy). It will take me 5 years to finish the Medical program and 4 or 5 years for the nursing program (regardless, my internship will be in the U.S. the final years). If I go back to New York City, there is not enough money to provide to have babies, medical insurance, and other stuff; although I make more than the average 20+ year old. I am already 27 years old. I have no parents to support me because I was abandoned by both at a young age. It is just me...here... Should I go into medicine to be a doctor or study nursing? I've always dreamed to be a doctor, but I keep hearing more HORROR stories of medical students from the US studying abroad than nursing students studying in the Philippines from the US. I also was thinking about just divorcing my wife and marrying a Filipina student or worker (preferably in the medical field) to work in the US and help us and their family back in their country as part of this plan. Nursing or Medicine? I think it is better to study both of these courses in Metro Manila, as I've been all over the Philippines traveling and visiting many colleges; Silliman University in Dumaguete City is an exception, and they now have a new Doctor of Medicine program that started in 2005. I have a degree in Business and Graphic design. Also, I will not run out of money staying here up to 8-10 years. I already am almost complete with my science requirements in the University of San Carlos, located in Cebu. I visited and have already been welcomed into a few med schools for 2010 who claim to help you do a clerkship in your last year of med school: UERM, Fatima (Metro Manila), Silliman (Dumaguete), Cebu Doctors' University (Cebu). Cebu Doctors' has U.S. linkage for physical therapy clerkship. US Clinical Experience in medicine is important since I only can work in the US and not this country, unless I get married to a Filipina. Nursing and physical therapy seem to be an easier option.

I'd like to say Nursing, because in the Philippines you have to have a pre-Med course before you can actually get into Medicine. Nursing is a pre-Med course, so if you graduate and decided to become a Doctor, you can still pursue it, or if you ran out of money, Nursing is a pretty high paying job in the US, you can work as a Nurse and save up to continue being a doctor. I am a Filipina living in the US, not a nurse but in a family with a lot of nurses.

you could possibly. they usually go for the mixed ones though, right? have you ever been approached in public if you want to model? that's usually how it goes. i think you can do it. loads of people do. i'm not very sure what the good agencies are but try all of them! once you get in a magazine or whatever, just push your way through! good luck

i don't know how it works in the philippines, but usually runway models should be 5'9 or taller. but agencies bend the rules a little for the slightly shorter girls with unique features by lying on their show cards. you should research the internet for agencies near you and try to find the feedback from models that are in that agency or have experience with it. remember, agencies don't ask for money straight up. if they do that, it's a scam. agencies make money through commision. once you find legitimate agencies, see if they have open calls. if they do, go to one. if they like you and think your look is right for them, they might sign you right on the spot. if they don't have open calls, then there's usually a way you can send in your pictures and measurements. it is hectic and go, go, go for the high fashion models. they travel a lot. fashion week is especially tiring. i don't think commercial modeling is too hectic. there are also some that work part time.

In 20 years working in medicine in the US, it's safe to say I've worked with more Filipinos than Americans. Filipino LVNs (LPN outside of California) are heavily employed by nursing homes in the US, largely because Filipinos will do the dirty work for much lower wages than a US-trained nurse. Get your RN or you won't have as many options in the setting you work in, the type of job you do, or the amount of money you make. As far as I know, passing the NCLEX in the Philippines is the same as in the US-- it's the same test, or it wouldn't have the same name. Because nurses are in such high demand, it shouldn't be difficult for you to find a job when you graduate. It is especially helpful that you have dual citizenship, because you won't have to go through the hassles of dealing with the visa nightmare.

It is especially helpful that you have dual citizenship, because you won't have to go through the hassles of dealing with the visa nightmare.

What are some schools that are really good to earn a BSN in the Philippines
What are some schools that are really good to earn a BSN in the Philippines?
I'm thinking of going to New Era University which is located in Manila to earn my BSN. I just wanna hear some opinions regarding that school whether it would be good for nursing. It's a religious school so I don't know if that will have an effect with earning the degree.

Nursing board examiner nabbed for illegal recruitment
Nursing board examiner nabbed for illegal recruitment?
(UPDATE) ONE of the nursing board examiners linked to the leakage of questions for this year’s licensure tests was arrested by police in her home in Taguig City Thursday night for alleged illegal recruitment. Virginia Madeja was immediately rushed to the Philippine National Police (PNP) General Hospital after her blood pressure shot up and she complained of shortness of breath. By Friday afternoon, she was well enough to be transferred to the PNP Custodial Center, GMA Network’s Flash report said. Senior Superintendent Asher Dolina, chief of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) in the National Capital Region Chief, confirmed his men served a warrant of arrest issued by the Regional Trial Court in Manila against Madeja for alleged illegal recruitment and estafa (fraud). The warrant stems from charges filed by two nurses who Madeja, who introduced herself as the manager of Total Care Staffing Service, allegedly duped into paying 500 dollars in 2001 for what turned out to be non-existent job abroad.

From Florida ka kamo? So are you local or stateside? If Filipino go to DFA. If American go to the US. ......................Embassy.

your best source for an answer is the US Embassy. You can ask them if you can have your biometrics processed at the embassy. Don't just rely on hearsay. Get the answer yourself. It's usually USCIS who will process your biometrics in the US. Since you're in Manila, that is a different scenario. Find out if the US Embassy has a website. If there is, try sending them an e-mail and ask if you could have yourbiometrics done at the embassy. You didn't say if you have an immigration lawyer handling your case. If you do, you can ask your lawyer. Try the website uscis.gov. That's the official website on US Immigration issues.

Based on your job it seemed like you have enough education to join as an officer so you shouldn't worry about the age limit for enlisted men and why not just just join the regular army.

Nursing Salary in the Philippines
Nursing Salary in the Philippines?
G'day all I am just curious as to how much a nurse would make per year in the Philippines. Especially in Manila or the bigger cities. Thanks in advance to all who can help out. I'm just interested in knowing the amount of their salary I know they don't get paid enough but I just would like more information as to how much money they actually make.

Definitely not enough, why do you think almost all filipino nurses would like to work overseas?
2 :
My cousin is a Nurse in Philippines and she is earning 45,ooo pesos / month. Wait ... I think she is a dentist ???
3 :
UST Hospital nurses' basic salary P16,000 per month St. Luke's Hospital nurses' basic salary P8-9,000 per month most hospitals in metro manila offer P8,000- P12,000 per month. In the rural areas, it could go as low as P6000 per month. depends on the hospital if they give 13th month pay. just do the math in their gross annual income. you still have to subtract tax and add tax exemptions. however, there's an overflow of nurses in the philippines that it's the nurses who pay the hospital just for training and experience. so i would say NEGATIVE annual income for those nurses who work like them.

One of my friends asked me to go to Manila with her and she wants me to plan it since she is so busy with school and all.

Heres my questions: You can answer 1 or all up to you.. just any info is good. What are nice things to do there places to visit? Nice restaurants that serves Filipino food? What is a good hotel (Manila) to stay where there are things to do around? What month is a good time to go? Think she is planning to go next summer after she graduates. May-Aug we can go. Heat/humidity/rain don’t bother us we are from FL. Any good websites you can post is good too thanks.

Just want to clarify some things.. How long will you be staying in Manila? There are many hotels here that can accommodate you, it just depends on how much your budget is. :) In Manila, you could go malling, food tripping in Binondo, visit Intramuros and other old churches, ride a jeepney etc. There's so much to see in the Philippines not only in Manila. If you love the beach try going to Pagudpud, Boracay or Palawan including Coron. If you want to experience a laid-back atmosphere in the mountains, try going to Banaue or Sagada in Mountain Province. I have more information to offer if only you've made your question more specific. :) Try browing this site http://www.wowphilippines.com.ph/

nursing school in UST
nursing school in UST?
I am strongly considering UST. Because I heard UP is really hard to get in to compared to UST. Plus it is nearer to my place (New Manila). So how is nursing school in UST? Hard? Or easy if you study seriously? Oh one more question, which one should I take if I were to work in America? Career Options: * Institutional Or Hospital Nursing * Community Health Nursing * Private Duty Nursing * Industrial Or Occupational Nursing * Military Nursing * Flight Nursing Or Aerospace Nursing * School Nursing * Clinic Nursing * Independent Nursing Practice * Pharmaceutical Representatives * Nursing Education

Nursing in UST is hard! on your first year, you have to pass the quota grade for your batch, most likely 2.0 (around 87% as final average), 2 chemistry subjects are on your first year. Hardest Subjects in the UST College of Nursing: All Chemistry Subjects (organic and inorganic chemistry, almost all are application, not just study of chemical equations. titration and application of biochemistry is very VERY hard) Medical Surgical Nursing (2 subjects, the heart of nursing) Pharmacology (pure memorization of drugs.) Community Health Nursing (memorization of Nursing Law) 2 Literature subjects (seriously, because of the professor who has 3 doctorate degrees. major exams can be as brutal as 200+ items and you have to finish it in just 1 1/2 hour, and you'll have your individual thesis too. this is the worst part of it. never in my life have i experienced this kind of torture. i literally spent over 15 hours infront of the computer without getting up. research. (thesis as a requirement to graduate. good thing its a group project. expect lots of sleep overs to finish this in time. lots of letters to conduct your research and all those things. after completing the thesis, you have to present and defend your thesis.) ofcourse RLE.(your duty days) unexcused absence is equivalent to double make-up duty. one duty day is 8 hours, so you have to make up for 16 hours! for every 5 min late, you have to make up for 30 mins. being late beyond 30 mins is equivalent to unexcused absence. excused absence can only be valid if you were sick proven by a medical certificate, death or wedding of an immediate family member, and participation to special events ackowledged by the college. occasional projects (not subject specific) -they can be a bittersweet experience. you maybe sent for community services and may have out of town projects which is fun but you have to rush for documentation later on. moderately hard subjects: anatomy and physiology fundamentals of nursing biophysics (just memorize the formulas and you'll be ok) laboratory subjects marriage and family (yes it is a subject) psychiatry other subjects seems to be negligible compared to those subjects above, (or at least that's what i think) some subjects are even taken online like rizal course and community service. however, they can all be easy or hard. taking all subjects seriously is always a must. once you fail 9 units, good bye college of nursing! most RLE subjects are already 9+ units! so you really can't afford to fail any subject at all! your greatest obstacle is managing your time. most of the time, you can have as many as 3 major subject quizzes per day! and literally have to read 3-4 chapters per subject! clinical instructors can be either lax or harsh. so know your CI's before your duty. expect lots of sleepless nights. clinical instructor hunting is annoying-- for their signatures, you'll see. completing your surgery cases as a requirement for graduation and for the local boards. the only good part is you don't have summer classes unlike other nursing schools. (april-may) only those who failed minor subjects are going to summer classes. career options in america: institutional/hospital nursing. - highly recommended. you can work double jobs to earn lots of money and lots of experience. and flexible roles. you can be a nursing educator, private duty nurse, etc. at the same time. nurse anesthetist has the highest salary of all types of nurses(without special poition). can be as high as $100+ per hour! community nursing: you have to be an expert first, especially in epidemiology. not much experience, more on paper works and statistics. not much exp. private duty nursing -variable pay. not much experience industrial nursing - variable pay. depends on the company. not much experience. more on first aid and referrals. Military nursing - less pay but has the best benefits among all nursing types. more on first aid. of course there's military training. flight nursing - not much experience. often, you're doing nothing school nursing - the best type of work for the lazy nurses. you'll most likely just sit all day. if there are no classes, you don't have to go to. you have two months vacation with pay too every year! but limited professional growth and experience. clinic nursing - second to best type of work for the lazy nurses. more on paperworks. not much experience. independent nursing practice - its hard to get some work. you have to advertise yourself, pay is variable. not much experience. pharmaceutical representatives. you work more like a pharmacist than a nurse. so not much experience nursing educators - like clinical instructors and teachers. depends on the school where you work.
