Master of Arts in nursing is it Recognize in any part of USA

Whether or not the degree would be useful for a job in the USA would be specific to the job, just as it would be for someone with an MSN. As long as you hold a US RN license you will meet the minimum requirements for a nursing job. Level of degree required by the employer, if any, is listed in the job announcement.

Regardless of your degree outside the U.S., you still need to apply for the specific State or territory that you're interested for. If your goal is to work in a skilled nursing facility or hospital, that can be an additional highlight on your resume. Any advance degree is a great addition to your professional education. I live here in California. I know somebody who has MAN degree in the Philippines. She also used to teach there in the Philippines. She wanted to teach here also, however she was not allowed until she could have at least 1 year of U.S. hospital experience. The Board of Registered Nursing here in California converted her MAN degree into MSN. Any nursing school here requires a teacher applicant to submit MSN degree diploma to the BRN and proof that he/she must have at least 1 year of U.S. hospital experience before she could be hired by the school. So she started working in a hospital just for over a year, I believe. Then she got hired by the nursing school after that.

So yeah. That's just one thing for the MAN degree. I don't know for other States or territories. But as I've said, regardless of your degree whether BSN or master's degree, if you want to work here as a registered nurse, you have to apply for the RN license in your interested State or territory. Meaning, you still have to comply the basic requirements in order for you to be eligible. Each State or territory has a different method in their application process specifically for an internationally educated nurse (IEN) like you. Each of them also has their own website, so you can just google them. Good luck!

Im thinking to pursue a nursing career in NMI since it is the easiest way and it does not costly, but after passing the NCLEX exam, working there and contract will be finish i will move to other state which they will require CGFNS evaluation and IELTS. Hope i can make it to fullfill my dreams to become a USRN. Having an MAN degree here in Philippines is good but i have to leaved because of so many reasons, im not aspiring to become a Nurse Educator in US all i want to be is work as a Nurse and have enough income. Thank you so much for your reply Maam Vinny in the Black i am now enlightened regardless of having a MAN degree moving to US as RN is challenging again if i will be giving a chance for MSN in Nursing i will again but i know its costly. Thank you again : )

I vaguely recall someone asking on Allnurses about MAN degrees. I think there are schools in Minnesota that offer them, but MANs are not common in the rest of the US. Augsburg University grants them, I believe.

I'm not a woman. Hahahaha. My profile picture is apparently a guy, and my username is vinnyfromtheblock, meaning vinny is a common nickname for my real name Vincent. Hahaha. My friends call me Vinny or Vince.
