Hello, Ive completed a 2 year course for LPN here in the Philippines and now Im ready for the NCLEX exam, however...im reading a lot of things about the LPN courses in the Philippines that they are not recoginized in the US? iIs that correct? Can anybody clear this up? I have an american finance and will be moving there next year...so obtaining a work visa etc is not an issue for me. But did I just waste 2 years of my life in a worthless class? God I hope not, please advise me.

Questions

1. Should I take the NCLEX here in the Philippines or in Virginia where I willl live with him or does it make any differance? Hes willing to pay the extra fee for international exams, but will I need to take it again in Virginia?

If that works out then...

2. I really want to advance to RN, Ive seen LPN to RN Bridge programs I can complete in 1 year online while working hopefully. Does this sound possible?

3. If that sounds do-able does anybody have recommendations for a good online school to attend and what is the estimated cost?

Any other facts, advice related to my topic is greatly appreciated, thank you so much for any help you could offer

God bless
