Nursing school in the Philippines .. Working in the US

[Turbota]

My wife was born in the Philippines (where she spent most of her life), but is now a US citizen. We are currently living in Florida. She has a BS degree in computer science, but now wants to be an RN.

Do to the many people that are trying to get into the RN program at Florida Southwestern State College here in Fort Myers, my wife was told by the school that it might be very difficult for her to get accepted into the 4-year RN program since there are so few seats available.

So, my wife wants to go back to the Philippines and enter into the RN program at De La Salle University.

Once she graduates with a BSN from the Philippines, she wants to return to Florida and take her NCLEX-RN and obviously try to find a job as a nurse.

1. Is this scenario sound like a good approach to becoming an RN here in the US / Florida?

I ask this because my wife has talked to some other Filipinos that went to nursing school in the Philippines that are now nurses here in the US ... but things might have changed since these Filipinos became nurses here in the US.

Thanks for any info :)
