hi everyone! i am newbie here so please help me out. :) i just graduated bs-nursing this year in the philippines and i am not a us citizen or immigrant. i just wanted to know which states do not require pnle passer before taking the nclex-rn. i know some states require you to be a licensed/registered nurse in the country from which you received your nursing education. i hope someone could maybe give me a list of those states because i was planning not to take the local boards anymore. well, i have relatives in illinois so i am trying to find states near it since illinois require me to be an rn first in my country. please and thank you!
