   My thinking on that is you would be better off going here in the U.S. Unless you want to work in the Philippines. My sister-in-law came from there then moved here hoping for that kind of job. Not easy in this country. You have to get re-training once you look for work here. There are differences.

   Few of these programs would carry as much weight in the US as most US programs because secondary school in the Philippines ends at the equivalent of the tenth grade, so that a two-year program in the Philippines would end at the equivalent of the US twelfth grade and a four-year program would be roughly equivalent to a US community college program. I have no information on how well the programs prepare students to pass the NYCLEX exam to become an RN in the US or on how much of the instruction is in English.

   You would find little, if any, loan or scholarship assistance, especially as you you appear to be a US resident or citizen who would be an international student. However, living costs with your relatives would be very inexpensive as would be tuition in comparison to many US programs.

   If you are still interested, St. Luke’s is the most respected hospital in Manila and you might want to take a look at its program.
