Am i qualified to take NCLEX_PN even if i get my training here in the Phils?

Hello everyone! I'm currently enrolled in an LPN program here in the Philippines. We all have to proficiently pass 21 nursing subjects like fundamentals of nursing, community health nursing, psychiatric nursing, mental health concepts and therapeutic communication, maternal and child nursing, medical-surgical nursing, paediatric nursing, plus some other prereq subjects like nutrition, pharmacology, microbiology and infection control. We also have integrated trainings in our curriculum like IV therapy, CPR, ECG, and O2 administration. We render clinical OJT in general hospitals, psychiatric rehab centers, military hospitals, geriatric hospitals, and rehabilitation centers for children with special needs. All of these before you can finish the course. Now my question is do we have the same subjects and OJT as LPN as in your respective places? Just asking...and, with all these stuffs can I work in the US even if get my LPN here in our country? I do appreciate your reply. Thanks...

Good Luck! I hope i can find one in the future. :)
