Some states accept Philippine BSN = to US educated BSN. California is the most difficult state as  courses taken require clinical experience at the same time: eg.  obstetrical/maternal-child nursing  class requires maternity clinical experience at the same time.   States vary in amount of clinical hours +

Check out allnurses WORLD section; Lots of advice on Nurse Registration, Immigration, and Philipine forums.

CGFNS International, Inc. - Nursing Credentials Evaluation   has 2 different services to evaluate nursing education obtained outside the US.

Each state has different requirements for licensure --link to boards of nursing found bottom each page. Look for nursing licensure, Internationally Educated Nurse (IEN) for specific requirements.

Best wishes in your nursing career.
