Hello, xtine,

I moved your post to its own thread in the International forum. Someone will come along to assist you.

You can sit for the NCLEX-PN exam, but you will not be able to get a visa that will permit you to work. That requires the RN after your name.

And that goes for the TN Visa that is availalbe to Canadians as well, there must be the RN after your name.

sorry.
