hi...just graduated practical nursing,my second course and now
planning to take nclex-pn.the problem is i am clueless on where and how to start in applying for nclex-pn.anybody please,any idea?
any suggestions also of the most welcoming state for lpn in us?
thanks!:welcome:

If you are looking to using the LPN to get a visa to work in the US then you are not going to have any luck. For immigration purposes you need RN not PN.

thank you so much!

right now i feel so down with the information but thanks anyway coz now i know what i should do. all pn graduates here in the philippines should sue all pn schools giving false hopes of landing pn jobs in america. :nono:

to 2nd coursers of pn,better continue it to BSN coz LPNS from Philippines are not issued visas to U.S:o

You have every right to get mad to those PN schools who are luring students into enrolling just to profit.. Would just like to remind you.. "Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you." - 1 Peter 5:7

God bless on your endeavor!

yeah that's right,really frustrating but as usual,pinoy trait,easily bounce back and always a positive attitude,there are other opportunities!

thanks!

I Am In The Us Right Now, Particulary In Oregon. I Am Planning To Go Back There To Do My Clinical For Practical Nursing At Kennedy Review Center. I Will Be Taking There Distant Learning Program Then Go Back There Just To Do My Clinical And Then Take The Nclex-pn. However, I Found Out That They Are Having An Adn Program Pretty Soon. So, I Might Consider Of Taking That Instead Of There Pn Program. Hopefully, They Will Have There Adn Program Available Online As Well, So I Could Just Take It Online And Go Back There For Clinical And Do The Nclex-rn. Then Come Back To The Us.
