Conversion of Philippine BSN to US BSN

Published

Hi, I'm a Philippine BSN graduate, FEU batch 2008 and currently working as an ER-RN here in California. I am planning to advance my career; however, since I'm a Philippine BSN graduate, I want to know how to convert it into US BSN and what are the steps that should be taken. If anyone have done the process, I'd be very grateful if you could help me with this dilemma.

correct me if im wrong but u nid a 1 year experience in critical care unit before going to

crna program..

Yeah, at least a year. But I want to have a peace of mind with my BSN already, because I dont like being underestimated by employers. Also, it has been an issue to me when I was looking for a job.

Currently, I'm accumulating 1 750 hours on the critical care (if I'm not wrong) for me to be eligible for examination for the CCRN. And then on that, I think it would really help me to get in to CRNA.

My Army Recruiter at NY did that for me. The best option you have is to talk to your career/guidance counselor at the school you are trying to get your MSN, to give you details on how to do it. All I did was bring in Original copies of Transcript, Diploma, Graduation Certificate Letter and official reciepts from UST to my Military Recruitment Office then they brought it to NCC-NY and got it evaluated, got it back in 3 days. you will probably need the same documents so be ready to have them handy at all time. And yes that is Nassau Community College NY.

Best of luck.

Thank you so much. It gives me a perspective of how it's done now. You guys help a lot.

Yes it is credited. I know for sure because i had my transcripts been evaluated there, and also my friends who graduated from the philippines had there transcript evaluation in AERC. But, im not a BSN graduate in ph. I started my college here and still continuing. Goodluck with your endeavors.

all the site recomended is correct, but it would behove you to ask your career counselor in school your enrolling so that they may direct you to their school accredited Education Eval comp

Exactly what I was gonna ask, I hope someone still responds.

Anyways like the subject says I too am a BSN graduate from the Philippines and would like to know if I can convert it to US BSN. I'm asking it again because I'm hoping I could get a faster response then having to call people around.. Oh and it'll help a lot if you give me some info about how it is here in Illinois.

My bro said it's what they do in the Navy (having their degree converted), so it should be possible in the civilian setting.

Hi,

 

Any updates? Can they still do this, have your Philippine BSN evaluated to a US BSN or accredited, hoping to be in the Navy Nurse Corps, with 8 years RN experience in CA.
