is it better to take the nclex in manila or in the US?

take the nclex here. so once you arrive in the US you can work as a nurse right away. i think it'll be much harder to pass it there because aside from the usual anxiety taking an exam has, you have to deal with adjusting to practically everything. (that, however, varies from person to person).

i take it you just passed the board? congratulations if that's the case. you can now proceed to taking further exams, and gaining experience by working in a hospital.

good luck.

Much better to go through the licensure process whilst still in the Philippines, employers are more likely to look at you if you have passed NCLEX and now it can be done in Philippines unless you have a tourist visa you may find it hard to get one and surely cheaper to take at home rather than pay to go to the US.

Would suggest you read up about retrogression as currently you are affected by it
