Hi! Based on my personal experience, i originally took my nclex rn for the state of California on 2010. I studied in a university in the Phils and they didn't have any problems with my credentials as

It's more like Philippine nursing education doesn't meet the standards of California nursing

Here is the very first question on the NCLEX-RN: How many states are there in the United States?

from what state are you? be mindful that if you are from California, California Board of Registered Nursing does not accept foreign graduate nurses since 2012. Even if you will get a license from different state and just endorse it to California. So you cannot practice in California. They are very strict now due to fake credentials. But you can apply and work to other state.

That is incorrect.

The issue is concurrency issue, Most are just sitting for NCLEX/PN and becoming a LPN and then making up the course and later becoming a RN. It is not because of fake credentials. I believe now the nursing education system has corrected this also.

Hello guys does anybody here thinking of going back to philippines to study nursing?

You are aware to become a RN in USA you only need a 2 years degree (Associates Degree Nursing) if educated in USA.

Other wise you will need a BSN if educated in Philippines.

If you go to school in USA then you can apply to go to a community college and get your ADN there, fairly cheap or free depending on where you live.

Or you can go to school for one year become a LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) in USA.

Hello guys does anybody here thinking of going back to philippines to study nursing?

have you explored all of the nursing education programs in your usa state? yes? no? which one is better for you based on time, distance from home and tuition costs?

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

Yes I have ...the community college that I'm thinking too is pain in the ### to get in to. The waiting list is dreadful 2-3 years and it's hard to find school who offers BSN straight (they want u to do the bridge program instead) tuition fee if really expensive.plus From where I live I have to drive far everyday to go to school.I am glad I found this website people are very informative and opinionated.

If you have a BSN, it will be easier to get a job here in the U.S. compared to those who have the community college degree.

Perhaps the most important issue in choosing a nursing school in 'Pinas is whether the school's course of studies is designed to meet California's concurrency requirements. If you don't meet their concurrency requirements, they will not allow you to sit for the NCLEX.

Also, I believe California requires foreign nursing graduates to be (or to have been) licensed in the country where they graduated. If so, you would have to pass the local boards in 'Pinas.
