If your textbooks were in English (which most are) then no need for any type of English Test. I have never heard of anyone doing English test from Philippines.

Do you have a visa or getting a visa to come to USA anytime soon?

Helo there PINAYUSA thank you for the reply. I am just about to start pursuing my american dream.I dont have anything at all like VISA etc..hehe.I am still planning to take NCLEX-Rn examination in TEXAS but i didn't expect that application for the examination alone is very difficult with all the requirements and processes.By the way, How can i validate or Proved to the BON of TEXAS that my school used English during my nursing coursework and with my textbooks? I hope you can give me more information and Insights.Thnak you,,

Only with the credential service review can the validation be done and they make their decision based on information provided by your nursing school

Having goals and plans are great.
But why would you spend the time or the money if you don't have any visa or upcoming visas to come to the USA. You may get approved to take NCLEX and if you pass you will need a Social Security Number to get a license. Only way I know of getting a social security number in PHilippinies is to go to US consulate in Cebu or Manila or Davao and process there, but you must have one US Citizen parent with you to provide documents.

So if i dont have any significant others in USA,i wont be able to work there or cant be able to have a license?Is that what you mean? I thought passing NCLEX -Rn exam first would be my starting move to make my dream come true.How sad. Are you suggesting that i should forget my american dream?

Silverdragon102, BSN · Mar 16, 2015

No we are not saying give up on your dream just be aware it may take a few years and $$ to meet requirements, find employer willing to go the immigrant or H1b route and then wait however long it takes for you to get to the US and start working. The US is a hard country to move to.

YES I am aware that USA has so many applicants and it will take you years for your visa to be process. Too much TIME and MONEy $$$ will be your investment for this.

But i just have this idea since currently i am working in KSA and i have still 2 years to wait for my contract to end.It came to my mind this idea since i am still here and i have still 2 years to wait for my contract to end, WHy i wont make use of the time taking NCLEX-RN examination.Will you agree with me with the idea that i come up?

Besides, If i am not wrong, i think employers will prefer sponsoring individuals with NCLEX-rn license.

To be honest with u,this WHOLE NCLEX idea troubling me and causing me some depression for a month already.With all the research ,information gathering and decision making that i need to do all alone.

Yes employers will be more acceptable if you have already meet state requirements and passed NCLEX. As long as you are aware of the expected time frame then go for it
