Since you are interested in Chamberlain College of Nursing, their website states that:

"Degrees obtained from non-U.S. schools will be considered based on evaluation of transcripts by a National Association of Credential Evaluation Services, Inc. (NACES) approved evaluating agency"

This means that in addition to the RN license (which you already have), and meeting the GPA requirement (which needs to be converted from a Philippines-based academic grading system to the US-based GPA), you will need your official college transcript evaluated by any of the NACES approved educational credentials evaluation service. The list is found here: NACES How to Find a Member

I will really research on the school. Considering that you are not in the US, you will be considered as an international student. Then if you are an international student, there are policies that states that if a student is on F1 visa (which will be for international students), classes will have to be done in-class. this makes it difficult for faculties to offer admission to international students considering that most faculties offer MSN or FNP or whatever online... So, think about that. I will email the faculty contact and the admissions officer of the school.. Best of Luck!
