I suggest having a good read in the International forum and also the Phillipine forum. To find these click on the local tab and then click on international. There are plenty of good information threads there especially the sticky/thread titled Primer to working in the US. Also would suggest reading about retrogression as there is no visas at the moment and no fast way to get to the US.

You are applying for licensure to be a RN in the US and NCLEX is the final part of the application.

Also check out the NCLEX forum which can be found by clicking on the Student tab
