Welcome to Allnurses. This part of the board is for introductions. Try both the International Forum and the Philippine Nurses forum below and post a new thread. You will get more help there. Thanks for taking the time for the introduction. Nice to meet you and good luck to you in all that you do.

You are much further ahead to get the NCLEX exam done first, and you do not even need the local boards there to work in the US. Just NCLEX-RN and the series of English exams, and a Visa Screen Certificate. Plus an employer, and that is it.

Of course, you will have immigration things to take care of.
