Any Kennedy global school of nursing graduates

JustBeachyNurse, LPN · Dec 25, 2012

The program is not accredited by any board of nursing as it is run through a different agency in the Philippines. In addition, LPN is not a recognized credential in the Phillipines therefore no local license can be issued. Many state boards of nursing (IL and CA are two) are requiring a local license in order to be eligible for license by examination. New Jersey will not accept PN program completed in a country where the LPN is not a recognized credential. Very few people have reported success in gaining a license in the US. It begs the question, how can one be trained in a discipline that is neither practiced nor recognized in that country?

As far as acceptance in various boards of nursing, you would need to contact the state board of nursing for clarification.

Kabayans, I would highly suggest that you actually talk to the school's advisers and ASK them "face-to-face":

-- Where do you actual previous graduated students who have successfully been able to get their ATT (in what State?).

-- You need to personally "connect or talk" to those previous graduated students via phone call or e-mail and verify that they are NOT part of the KSGN staffers or employees.

-- You can ASK for their RN license number as posted in the States, it's all public record and it can be checked globally with any computer for FREE.

-- If you do make a few contacts, make sure again you're dealing with real live nurses and working in the States. Call them if they are truly in the States, ASK for where they are working and see if they are actually an employee there.

The reason I posted here, is that a batchmate friend's sister has been unable to find ANY state to accept KGSN accreditation, at least in the States she wanted to practice in and she graduated in 2010. She's stuck with a worthless PH degree to apply into the States snd that's the sad result of her horrible experience with this place. A complete total waste of her time and money, but she was forewarned by many other PH students to not go there.

However, what States are you guys looking to work in? There might be just one state that will accept it, but not sure it will be approved thru the various evaluation agencies. Good luck!

Hey meagan im trying to find any foreign acreditation that will help me to take exam but no luck at all

Guys, again, you NEED to go into their offices, SIT there and DEMAND that they TELL you where exactly in what States had been accepting their accreditations!

Why ask the BON's themselves, they really don't know even if you ask 18 of them, because the courses have to be evaluated before they can even begin to tell you, their job starts once they receive the evaluation results.

Since you already know that most States if not 95% will not accept the courses.

You guys have to realize also that whatever States accepts the courses, then trying to endorse over to another State will be either be impossible or highly unlikely to happen.

There might be one or two States out of the 50, I really don't know, but is that the State you wish to begin your nursing career?

Steppybay has good advice ...I would follow what she suggests.

I know this is too late but I graduated from that school however I had to go back there to study. I was an immigrant now US citizen. I never had a problem with the application it was just that the process took time because of course the school was in the Philippines. I passed my NCLEX - West Virginia.

However, I am currently in an RN program almost done, 10 more months! Planning to endorse it from WV to CA and with my RN transcript. I am still on the process, I'll let you guys know.

Keep in mind that that school has been closed for a year now, because the founder/owner I think has died already.
