pero mag-apply ka units credit na mga courses na nakuha mo an sa pinas..
kumbaga lalabas na transferee ka.. so it will take you less time to finish the degree/diploma..
hindi masasayang ang pinag-aralan mo dito, and ofcourse pagkatapos mo ng nursing dun, either hanap ka ng employer to sponsor your, or you can apply your own PR visa dahil nasa SOL/CSOL ang mga nursing occupations..
just my opinion..

Commit to the Lord everything you do. Then your plans will succeed. Proverbs 16:3 (NIRV)
The longer you have to wait for something, the more you will appreciate it when it finally arrives. The harder you have to fight for something, the more priceless it will become when you achieve it. And the more pain you have to endure on your journey, the sweeter the arrival at your destination. All good things are worth waiting for, and worth fighting for.
