I graduated BSN in the philippines and now residing here in washington.
I am planning to take the nclex but their seeking for a licensed nurse before i can be eligible to take the test.
I feel unfortunate studying BSN in the philippines and not able to use it here.
Please give me an advice that is best for me.
Thank you.

Welcome to AN! The largest online nursing community!
Even Doctors who come to this country must pass exams that ensure they are competent and have adequate education that is up to US standards. ALL countries do this. You may not practice nursing in any country without passing the licensing exam in that country. If you have a working VISA you may seek other positions within the hospital that do not require a license.
