Graduate Nurse in the Philippines...

by medz23

Hi! I got my nursing degree in the Philippines and now here in US through fiance visa. I wanna work here as a healthcare provider/ some jobs with relation to my degree. While waiting for my NCLEX application. Can I take CNA exam here without taking some classes?

Default Re: Graduate Nurse in the Philippines...
There is no NCLEX application, you applied for licensure as an RN. And cannot even get permission to sit for the exam until you are accepted by the state. Not sure where you are in the application process.

Depending on the state, in most you will be able to work in the role of the CNA, as a nursing asst, but that will be the only job that is available since you do not hold a license in the US.

Best of luck to you. You may wish to check out the NCLEX Forum that we have here under the student tab at the top of this forum.
