a PN grad needs help--- HEELP please.. SOS

Published

Hello everyone!!

this site is indeed a big help for all of us.

I'm jay, Im a PN/VN graduate here in the Philippines.

Got lots of questions bout nclex-pn processing & stuff, hoping you my nursing friends could answer.

I just finished PN/VN program this november, in one of the nursing schools here in the philippines(under Ca VN curriculum).

I'm planning to go in the US through a visitors visa, May of next year.

Is there anyway that i could process or take my nclex-pn there, though i'm a foreign VN graduate?

Are there working opportunites or sponsorships ahead of me by then?

In most of the states they require US SSN prior to nclex-pn application.

Do i need to comply with such though i'm a foreign graduate?

Unfortunately as a PN you do not qualify for immigration so unless coming to the US through a different route ie fiancee you will not be able to proceed with your plan to immigrate to the US. There is a thread I think in the Phillipine forum explaining this all to you. There is also a retrogression in progress and you will be affected and there is no guarantee by May that thinks will have lifted.

Sorry it wasn't the news you expected but better to know before you used your visa and tried to AOS. Can you not do your RN training as most foreign countries will require this if you are looking to leave the Phillipines

AOS? ---> what do you mean with this madam?

it is not something worth looking at. As a LPN you do not meet immigration requirements and it is of no use going to the US on tourist visa and look for work. When you look at requirements of LPN that is for LPN's already in the US. If you are wanting to move to the US and work you need to do your RN training

AOS is Adjustment of Status. But you need the RN for it, and that is what you do when you come over here on a toursit visa and want to stay and work. But the other issue is that there is also a retrogression going on right now, so nothing coulr be filed for you, even if you had your RN.

Please do things the correct way, and legal way, and get your RN if you wish to work in the US as an RN.

And shame on these programs that have been set up over there that lie, or misrepresent themselves to the students.

I've heard though, that a 2-year RN program don't qualify for/with immigration, only BSN RN's.. how true is that ma'am?

Aside, is there anyway i can live/work as an LPN(legally) in the US via tourist visa? How?
