I took the nclex-Rn in state if florida this month and I pass with 75 questions.Now trying to endorse my rn license to illinois but still need my local license from the Philippines it doesnt make since. I need help....please someone,anybody could share and tell which state I can endorse my rn license from florida without local license from philippines?

How does it not "make since"? Illinois requires a license from your country of origin/education for licensure, even if you're applying for endorsement with licensure in another US state. They're pretty clear about that. If it's important for you to stay in IL, have you thought about just taking the Philippines licensure exam?
