Lpn?


Can I take the NCLEX-PN even if I am an RN back in the Philippines.. I am in the US right now.. and I have just failed the NCLEX-RN for the second time... Should I enrol for an LPN course?....
What are the documents needed? or should I just pay Pearson Vue for the NCLEX-PN application fee?.. Thanks a lot... I am so desperate....

In what capacity are you in the US? You have to apply all over again for LPN and meet the BON requirements. If looking for immigration then LPN will not do it plus retrogression is holding you back. No good paying pearsonvue

If you need a visa to be able to work in the US, then the LPN license will not get you that.

Suggest that you focus on passing the NCLEX-RN exam, the LPN exam requires completely different preparation and there is no sense in spending time on trying to pass that.
