Where are you studying vocational nursing? In the US or Philippines? There is no practical or vocational nurse in the Philippines so if you are studying in the Philippines you wont be eligible for LVN/LPN in most US states. Many individuals attended KG in Philippines and are now ineligible to take the NCLEX-PN or become an LPN/LVN in the US.

If you want to practice nursing in the Philippines, attend nursing school in the Philippines. If you wish to practice nursing in the US, study nursing in the US. It's always recommended to study nursing in the country you wish to work

Many BSN graduates from the Philippines are finding it very difficult to obtain an RN license in CA and a few other states.
