Thought this was an interesting article: The Manila Times Internet Edition | OPINION >Five-year nursing and other courses, boon or bane?


Beginning February 15, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) will start consultations with colleges and universities on its decision to raise nursing from a four-year to a five-year course. By the beginning of the new school year in June, CHED said it would start to implement the plan.

Additional expenses for student, but less work when we graduate.

One more year in school keeps the student from entering the almost impossible nursing job market for one more year.
