Are you a GC holder already?

Re: im a bsn graduate in the philippines

There are no legal visas to work in the US with the LPN license, no matter what you may be hearing. If you do not already have a green card or a US passport, taking the exam will not benefit you in any way.

There are no legal visas available, only a few that will get you deported for immigration fraud if caught.

Re: im a bsn graduate in the philippines

(Is the OP maybe just confusing the NCLEX-RN and NCLEX-PN?)

Re: im a bsn graduate in the philippines

.

It could benefit her to take the NCLEX if she has an American fiance and he is has turned in the K-1 Fiance Visa.

That way by the time she arrives in USA form PI, she would already be RN, assuming she passed the NCLEX, Is that correct?

Re: im a bsn graduate in the philippines

The OP was asking for PN. Unfortunately, if it were taken outside the US and do not have another visa through another route, they cannot work as PN as the PN is not qualified to be petitioned by an employer. Anything that needs to be petitioned via employment-based petitioning needs to be a job category that is in shortage and one that a US Citizen cannot fill. Also, anyone educated outside the US and wants or needs to be petitioned via employment needs a minimum Bachelor's degree.

To be able to work, legally as PN, they should already have another visa that permits them such as being a GC holder via family-based petition and other routes. K1 maybe one of them. See: http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigra...ypes_2994.html

We have two different NCLEX exams in the US, one is for the LPN and the other is for the RN license.

There is also no mention of a fiance visa anywhere in her questioning here.

California have had this requirement since the beginning of this year and unless you can prove that you can not take the exam then they will require it. They have been very strict with it and usually require a letter from PR stating you can not sit the exam and because you only have a GC then you are not exempt. Much has been written already about this so suggest a read and search
