PN Licensing

[arkangel]

Hello everybody!!!! I am on my last semester of my Practical Nursing course here in the Philippines. Does anybody have any information regarding obtaining a license for Practical Nurse here in Asia?

Thanks for the help!!!!!!

Sorry, but highly recommend that you take the time to read the threads about the Practical Nurse training on the Philippine Forum. You are going to find that it is not accepted for immigration purposes in any other country and does not meet the requirements for licensure in most other countries. This is something that the schools fail to tell you when you sign up for their programs. They state that you can write the NCLEX-PN exam, but they fail to tell you that unless you already have a green card or are a US citizen, then you will not be able to get a visa for the US. And if you hear mention of the H2-B visa, then you would be classified under immigration fraud and subject to deportation.

Canada does not accept the training. None of the Asian countries do either. There is no place that you are going to be able to get a visa and work as a practical nurse. If your goal is to go to another country, they you are going to have to go for the BSN.

Your country also does not accept this training for licensure so that should have been a red flag to you to start with.

Please just read the threads on the Philippine Forum including what we call the sticky at the top of that forum on these programs for much information that you need to have.

Best of luck to you.
