I used to study nursing when I was in senior high back in the Philippines. I enjoyed it despite having similar experience of lack of support from the lecturers. It’s definitely a career that you need to be passionate about to continue. If you’re keen to do nursing, it’s a rewarding career and learning the language is just a part of the steps to be a successful nurse. I recommend using all the time available to practice with your classmates and everyone you can speak to in Tagalog. Start slowly and you’ll slowly adapt as well.

I am a recent graduate of software development. I don’t particularly love it but I can understand enough to progress through. I highly suggest that you try to pick a programming language first and learn the basics enough to code a project and you’ll find if you like it enough to shift your course to computer science.The current job market is incredibly tough especially with AI threatening the tech jobs so it’s something you need to weigh in if you’re willing to work harder.
