As a filipino, would you take nursing as your course in college?

since as of this time, nursing is a hit in the philippines, would you take it as your course because you would have a chance to earn large amount from abroad? if not, WHY?

>>in my own opinion, i won't take it as my course in college, because its not my kind of thing and for me, it has a cycle.....before, engineering was the popular course then comes with computer programming and etc....

If you want to work abroad the best chance is to learn the language of that country. eg. USA and Canada learn English very well. Study the history and customs of the country. I do know in the Philippines, English is the language most used other that Tagalog. The common use of Filipino English is not enough. Learn English to become an expert in it. Then you must become the best you can in the field you love the most. There are opportunities everywhere for the very best in any field of profession.
If you do choose nursing it is known especially in North America that the best caregivers are Filipinas.

Only you can answer this. If you are interested in taking care of sick people then, go for it..If not, and you're doing it only for the money, then you have to take time to think about it. Money is NOT everything. Being happy later on in your career is more important. So enroll in a course that interests you most. Happiness and self-fulfillment are more important than all the money in the world.

thas funny cuz i have a filipina friend whos also starting her studies in nursing. why nursing??!!

samooho:nursing is unclean job although its in hospitals
i hate it so much i prefer medicin, engineering ..............etc

It definitely depends on the student. if he really has a heart in the medical arena, then why not? yah, many hospitals abroad really needs nurses, but we need more nurses here, can't you imagine were the only nation who's pursuing nursing in college, why would'nt they encourage their own citizen's to take nursing? why do they need other nationaltites?
as for me, im afraid of blood, i don't want the smell of a hospital, i dont wanna see people lying in bed with dextrose and other stuff transfused on them.

Yes, you'll be earning a lot of money and you and your whole family can migrate to another country and have a better lifestyle, but can you handle it?
If you don't enjoy what you're doing, you might not put your whole effort into it, unless you're really motivated to do it because your family's poor and have no future with a 10k PHP salary if you decide to stay in the Philippines.
