I Need A Plan B. Care to help? NCLEX dilemma

Hi everyone,

Let me introduce my self. I'm a graduate of BSN & licensed in the Philippines. I trained for psychiatric nursing in a government psychiatric facility for a year. I worked for a local government tertiary hospital 400 bed capacity as a pediatric nurse for less than a year, then eventually became a neonatal icu nurse for 2yrs. I recently moved to the US & apparently due to my busy schedule & understaffing in the facility I worked for, I was not able take my nclex exam in the Philippines.

I scheduled my exam this december, hoping that I would pass (first timer) but just incase, I'm wondering, what are the other job opportunities I might have if I fail the us licensure since I spent most of what I have to migrate to the US & I will be needing a job after I take the test to pay the bills

Am I qualified for any other other health care work aside from caregiving? do I need to take exams or certifications inorder to work in the heath care industry?

    You could certainly work in an unlicensed position, as a patient care tech. If you have sufficient expertise, you could work as a monitor tech or phlebotomist. Have you investigated the process taking the certification exam to become a CNA in your state? This would be another possibility.
