Yes it is crazy

As I mentioned in your other thread it would be a problem if you move back to US, you may have problems ensuring that your EU training meets US requirements, also I don't think as a LPN will help you do your RN training. RN training will be full 3-4 years with I doubt any short cuts. Definately for UK immigration you need to be a RN, LPN is not accepted and if you go the student route you have to prove that you can support yourself throughout your training with is just over 3 years and will pay international fees which will be very high.

I would concentrate on getting your RN and then look to moving to France or which ever EU country takes your fancy

Immigration will not give you a visa with the LPN, you need the RN. And most European countries no longer even have the LPN, or equivalent.

Your LVN license in the US will not transfer for additional studies in the US as the training is completely different there.

Trying to do anyhting with nursing out of the country, without having the RN, is quite fruitless for you. It won't work. And agency reuqired experience.

That is fine but things do change and would be a shame to do all them years of training and then find that you would have to do extra hours of training costing money to then work in the US.

We all try to go to USA.Dont let one person spoil ur future. Think before u move out. Work on ur studies first.Become a RN. All Europeans value very much the American system. The cost to study in Europe as an international nurse will be very high. At least u have an accommodation and family where u r staying. Just imagine after few years things change and u r not able to work in USA or u have to attend an extra course in ur nursing coz the requirements for USA licensure r higher or different. Think and dont lose smthg u have in ur hands...
Regards and good luck.
