I am foreign student doing BSN in the Philippines, I am aware that I am not able to do my nursing board exam here but I would like to NCLEX here in the Philippines, I want to confirm if I am able to and also if NCLEX taken here will be counted in Canada. I will be getting my degree in May 2016, I am trying to prepare now for my next move. Can someone advise me what I should do? Pls and thanks.

Welcome to the site

Moved this to the International nursing forum.

Which country do you plan on living and working in? If you are looking at Canada then you need to meet provincial requirements and check their website to see if they will accept NCLEX done for the US. Some I believe will not but will be stated on their website.

Isn't registration in the country of education a requirement to be issued a practice permit in Canada.

NCLEX isn't proof of registration.

Sam, you are currently studying for your bsn in the Philippines? What school are you attending and where are you originally from? I am a U.S. citizen born and raised, but I'm moving to manila next month to pursue my bsn also. How do you like it so far and where do you plan to seek employment?
