hello everyone,

wow! i never thought that we have our own website for forums like this. well, i'm a 3rd year nursing student in the philippines and wishes to work in the us after graduation, my dad will petition me so i could work there. my only concern is knowing what are the required exams that i should take to be able to work in the us, should i still take the board exam here in the philippines as a requirement? and can anyone tell me how it feels when taking those exams.

thank you.

The best place for answers is the International Forum, where there is also a Philippine Nurses forum: https://allnurses.com/forums/f75/

You will actually be able to work in the US quicker if you apply for your own green card, it definitely will not be faster if your father does it, if he has not already started the process.

Please read the primer at the top of the International Forum. There is nothing that you can do with applying, etc., until you have graduated and have a completed set of transcripts to submit.
