I am applying for my VSC and it seems I am stuck at step 6. it says "at least one license is required for this order." And thus my orders status in incomplete. I do not have a local license since I am a Chinese citizen but permanent resident of the Philippines. Does this mean that I cannot continue with the VSC? how can I let them know that I am exempted from writing the NLE? Thank you so much!

Did you actually take and pass the NCLEX exam?
You need to have the PRC submit a letter to them that you are exempt from writing the NLE, this is the only way that anything is accepted for this. The local license is not normally a requirement for the VSC.
Yes i took and have passed the NCLEX already. in VSC, is it better to apply by mail or online?
In my opinion, never use the on-line application; one little mistake and you can spend months correcting it.
Just have the PRC submit the letter for the VSC directly to CGFNS/ICHP.
I think i'll just go ahead and get a recognition and take the local board exam. in that way, i can go get trainings (IVT, BLS, ACLS, volunteer work and stuff). you can't get those trainings here in the Philippines if you don't have a license. and if i'm lucky enough i can actually get experience coz i probably have to wait 10 years for retrogression to be lifted. i have sorted out all my options already. going to another country requires at least one license and even experience or else i'll just be a nurse assistant and i don't want that. i want to work as an RN. and i'm already bored doing nothing. miss suzanne, what do you think of my decision? thanking you in advance.
