Lpn Review Centers In Manila

suzanne4, RN · Apr 13, 2008

You are able to write the NCLEX-PN exam at the same office in Makati where the NCLEX-RN exam is held. They are both given by Pearson-Vue.

But please take the time to do some reading here and you will see that you will not be able to get a legal visa for the US with that training. Immigration does not grant visas for the LPN/LVN. And therefore you cannot come to work in the US with that if you do not already hold a green card or a US passport already.

Unfortunately, these wonderful programs do not tell you that.

Immigration in any country does not accept this training for a visa, as well as your own country does not either.

And if you see any ads posted for working in the US as an LPN, please be aware that you would be brought to the US fraudulently and subject to deportation for a minimum of ten years.

There is already much on this topic written here, and there is no reason to go to any other country to test, but I would save the hundreds of dollars since it will not get you a job anyplace. Even the ADN will not get thru immigration for the US as your country does not recognize it for licensure.

These programs only help the school owners and no one else. Wish that you would have done some reading here before you even started your program.

Best of luck to you.

Hello to everyone! Please help me. Im a 2nd courser taking up a 1-year LPN course in 1 of the 2 new LPN schools here in Shaw blvd, Mandaluyong City, Philippines. I will be graduating in October this year. The 1st batch graduated just recently. They are now having the dilemna of finding a NCLEX-PN Review Center. 1 Review Center told them to join the NCLEX-RN Review instead. Please help us find a review center specifically for PNs.

It is so sad to read a post from a person "graduating" from an LPN school in the Philippines. I take no pleasure to inform these Filipinos that the time, effort and money that they poured into their LPN schooling really is a colossal waste. As the moderators in this forum have REPEATEDLY posted that the LPN "degree" from Philippine schools is useless in foreign countries, including here in the U.S.A. It is not even recognized by the Philippines' own Professional Regulatory Commission! That reason alone should raise a red flag. Why do Filipinos still continue to enroll in these Philippine LPN schools boggles the mind. It is a false and empty promise to get a good nursing job because graduates from these schools can't get professional licenses. Fellow Filipinos, if you can't get into a BSN program in the Philippines for any reason, then don't bother enrolling in LPN schools in the Philippines.

To micdelrosario: With all due respect to you, please avoid the "texting" grammar and spelling in this forum. If you plan to work as a nurse abroad sooner or later, you should practice to use only correct and proper English grammar and spelling. This post is not meant to belittle you but to give you an unsolicited and sincere advice from one professional nurse to another. A classmate of mine in a Manila nursing school and I spoke mostly in English during our last year in nursing school. Several of our Filipino classmates thought we were nuts. I left for the United States after I graduated from nursing school and I encountered very few problems when I got my first job here in the States, thanks to my daily practice of speaking the English language back in the Philippines. English is my second language and admittedly I still make some grammatical errors but I make every effort to make my English a little better everyday.

It is really a sad shame that these schools have the blessing of the government there, but they are not accepted in your own country for licensure, so do not expect any other country to accept the training and give you a visa to work in the other country.

The LPN program in the Philippines is only accepted when the nurse already holds a green card or US passport; there are no visas issued based on this training as we do not have a shortage of them in the US. Every so often, we see something crop up promising that you can be in the US within a few months working. That just is not a legal visa and is subject to you getting deported for a period of minimum of ten years if not longer for immigration fraud, as you would not be brought over to the US as a nurse, but as an unskilled laborer and only supposedly for a temporary stay. We are actually seeing LPNs from your country being deported all of the time now. Most are working at nursing homes and these are having raids all of the time for employing illegals. And your visa type would make it illegal for you to be working in the US as a nurse.

Please get the word out about these programs and if no one goes to them, then the schools will close because they only stay open to take money from you and no other reason.

PN will not meet requirements for immigrant visa via EB3 or work visa as minimum requirement is BSN. PN is not in demand as much as you would think as many US nurses are PN's. Your school is lying to you, unless you have a means to get to the US and live and work PN will not do it
