I don't think so seeing as LPN isn't recognised in their country even though they do the training. Moving this to the International forum

No, they do not offer bridge programs there like we have in the US. Things are done quite differently there and the LPN training is not even accepted there for licensure, etc.

The requirement there for the RN license is the full BSN as well, which means another three to four years for you. They do not recognize the two year ADN either for licensure, so that makes it non-acceptable in most cases in the US as well for licensure.

Pre-reqs are not even recognized in many cases between two schools in the same city in the US, so taking something over there just makes no sense at all to any of us.

Do not plan to get any credit for any of it.

With all of the issues going on with schooling there right nowm, that should be the furthest thing from your mind right now.
