How to Choose a Best Perfermong Nursing School or University?

Choosing a university, especially nursing school, is not difficult nowadays because there are lot of new nursing schools. However, you can't tell what is performing well in nursing course. If you are about to enter college and will taking nursing, you probably looking for a best performing nursing school. I would love to share some tips while you are deciding what school to choose.

1. Make a list of schools or university. The first thing you need to do upon looking for a well performing nursing school is to make a lists of your desire schools. Do some research and know their status in nursing courses. Break down your lists into 5 top schools you like. Then down to two best school. Now, it is easier for you to decide between the two schools.

2. Check the school. After you breakdown your list into two schools you want, it is time to check the facilities of the school. But before doing that, you must inquire first about the enrollment, the monthly payments, and so on. If all those things were okay with you, then it's the right time to check the school facilities. There are some schools that have nice gate yet with poor quality classrooms. So, better check the restrooms, classrooms, library, and canteens. Those said facilities are necessary for you while studying especially preparing for your nursing examinations..

3.  Check their status/reputation. This is very important when it comes to choosing a university. I experienced being a college student and I also did these tips, and it really helped me a lot. The reputation and status of the school are important because some hospitals are prioritizing the nursing graduates when they came from a well known universities. But I'm not saying it in general. I mean, there are few hospitals who are giving a high percentage of getting hired when the applicant nurse studied from a popular school.

Studying in a university is not as easy as in high-school. College life is more serious matter because your future career will begins here. Another serious matter to talk to is the school you are about to enroll in. Choosing a well performing nursing school is a good choice. However, it depends on how you strive to be the best in class, that matters most. So, good luck on your college life. Enjoy learning and be a good nurse in the near future.

After a long preparation, the December 2010 Nursing board exam is finally done. The exam is held in different part of the country (Manila, Cagayan, Baguio, Naga, Davao etc.) The PRC is expecting that almost half of the examinees will pass the licensure exam and be ready to practice nursing skills in the hospitals.

And because the result will takes a month before it release, most of the nursing graduates will try to practice their skills as a volunteer workers in the hospital, clinic or health care community. Some will continue their nursing education by taking the Master's Degree in Nursing. It is a pre-requisite skill if you want to be a professor or a clinical instructor. Anyway, this is just an optional things you may do while waiting for the exam result.
