What is the best college to attend to in America, San Fransisco, for a bachelors degree in nursing

What is the best college to attend to in America, San Fransisco, for a bachelors degree in nursing ?
Hello there, i'm a 16 year old secondary school student in Singapore, (Singapore Citizen) sitting for my N'Level examinations in October. I'm in the normal technical stream. Which means, i'm only taking Science, English, Math, Malay Language and Computer applications. I'm planning on taking my SAT's in November right after i take my N's. What kind of marks must i achieve in my SAT's to go to a good nursing college in San Fransisco? and can you please also recommend a good college for me to go to? A one which is not very costly perhaps? Im planning on taking a Bachelors degree. And also, what are the things i can do right now to help me prepare for a good start next year in my nursing course?

Why must i do a IELTS test to register with WA nursing Board, as a Singaporean with Nursing Degree from Monas

Why must i do a IELTS test to register with WA nursing Board, as a Singaporean with Nursing Degree from Monash
I have done my Midwifery (18 months) in UK and a Registered Nurse in Singapore for many years. Is the Degree from Monash done as distance learning not equvilant to their campus study as claimed by them?? Have worked and studied in England and holding a degree from Australia Monash why do I need to do a IELTS test. Are we being discriminated as Singaporean Chinese or am I cheated of my degree? Please give me some sensible answers. Help!

Because that is what they "require." quit whining about it. Don't use "discrimination" as an excuse. Take the test just like everyone else has to do.

G'day, I understand it must be hard for you to be given such 'silly' conditions. You are from Singapore, and has done courses in English for quite sometime and yet still asked for IELTS test. I do not pretend to know the whole story here, but my guess is b'cos the board is afraid that generally applicants from Asia countries do not have a good English communication skill. It is not that the distance learning degree from Monash is deemed less qualified. Your qualifications are fine (I guess), it is just the English that they worry. Unfortunately I have to agree with the first answerer (altho not the way the person wrote it). It is best to give them their what they ask. If your English is good (which I truly believe it is), then you got no reason to worry. Please do not take it that it is discrimination, since I am sure they ask the same thing to Singaporean Indians as well. Good luck and welcome to Australia.

Is it possible to work as an Enrolled Nurse in Australia while taking a part time nursing degree

Is it possible to work as an Enrolled Nurse in Australia while taking a part time nursing degree?
I planned to do that, but I realised that while the demand for Enrolled Nurses isn't high, it isn't easy to get a nursing job as an EN in Australia.. My main reason is to study a part time degree in Nursing and at the same time, work as an EN in any nearby hospital. I am from Singapore. It won't be easy, but anyone could give any information? thanks.

If you are an enrolled nurse you could apply for an agency and work through them. You will need to bring your qualifications with you and might have to do a conversion at TAFE. Enrolled nurses are trained through a TAFE degree (used to be through a hospital over 2 years), so its something you still need qualifications for.
