filipino nursing graduate-Philippines

Published

Hello guys i'm seeking for your help about my situation. I am a graduate of BS Nursing in the Philippines year 2011. I don't have a Philippines Nursing license and i wanted to continue my nursing education for me to begin a nursing career here in USA particularly in the State of Texas. I've emailed TBON and all they gave me are the lists of credentialing agencies but i have no idea how to reach them. Some say that I would just probably try to enroll and go back to school here and let them evaluate my credentials but I called and emailed some schools like University of Texas Arlington, Baylor University and Texas Woman's University and 1 of them just gave me the general instruction for bS nursing course adimission and some told me that I can go directly and apply for the NCLEX RN exam, they are not responsive much and you have to schedule an appointment to visit their office of advisors.Please nurses out there who had a similar situation with mine please enlighten me. Take note I don't have license in the Philippines. Thanks a lot!! God bless you!

Some states do not require a license in the country you trained in. As long as you meet their requirements and pass NCLEX you will be issued a license which in some cases is on receipt of a US SSN. Instructions on how to register as a IEN will be on the BON's website
