Hi guys! I'm just looking for answers hopefully i can get them SOON. haha
Okay I am a US citizen who just got my LVN/LPN license here in Texas.... but I want to go back to the Philippines ( which i was born there and know the language ) to get my BSN. My question is what all do I need or what are the requirement so I can go to school in the Philippines ....and will any of my classes that i took here be credited ? thank you guys . Please help me out here .

Congratulations on your LVN!!!! I know that's a big accomplishment. Why would you want to go back to the Philippines in order to get your BSN? If you plan on returning to the US to practice as a RN then your best bet is to stay in the US in order to complete that. Even if your a US Citizen and you return to the Philippines to get your RN once you try to get your license in the US you may find it harder and have to jump through some hoops of hire just to gain permission to sit for the NCLEX-RN. You will always be looked at as a foreign graduate and might have to go through those same hoops if you move from state to state. Something most definately to take a look at either way, I'm excited for you, and again Congratulations!

thank you =] yes it was a LONG HARD year haha... well the two main reason is one cost and the other is the training oh and i want to spend time with my family too... but your right but since i already have taken the NCLEX_PN wouldn't it easier to take the NCLEX_RN since they already have my record? lol and I am wanting to come back here in Texas. UGH idk
