I'm 2nd year college back in the Philippines but when I arrived here in USA they would not credit my nursing subjects such as chemistry, anatomy and physiology. WTF? i don't want to learn the same thing all over again. PLEASE help me!!

Unfortunately, unless your college in the Philippines was accredited by the same organization as your college in the U.S., they probably will not give you credit for previous coursework. This is, I'm afraid, the price you have to pay. At least the classes should be easy for you.

A great way to get this taken care of it to take the CLEP test in these subjects. If you pass, you'll receive credit for the course. You will pay a small fee, but it's much cheaper and faster than retaking courses.

You are dealing with an academic structure that is very hard to break. You are also dealing with something American students transfering state to state also have to deal with. You could shop around more, but in all honesty it is up to the institution as to what courses they will or will not accept.
