Great point of view... I agree with you and of course graduates are given the opportunity to apply, pass and earn licenses in both the BVNPT in California & NCLEX-RN in another state so why not take advantage of such a great opportunity. Not only does it benefit international graduates but it opens the door to gain some experience as an LVN, then in the near future one may decide to relocate and pursue an RN position to the state in which the BRN has granted the RN license. I do appreciate the fact that some states continue to give opportunities to international graduates and grant seats to take the NCLEX-RN. We shall see if in the near future, if all the states enforcing concurrency will adjust their policy as it was before and once again accept all hard earned BSN degrees. But, It's good to know that the LVN exam is a good safety net for graduates because the degree has value and it's an excellent option if plan A works out differently. Well, I appreciate your time and thank you for your helpful insight! I wish you the very best in your nursing career! Have a good day!

Hello, I'm a U.S. Citizen/Filipino Citizen that would like to earn a BSN in the Philippines in order to sit for the NCLEX-RN exam in the United states. I am aware that there are concurrency issues, and I'm willing to take the BVNPT as a second option. I'm interested in getting a BSN in the Philippines as a 2nd Courser... Also, I've inquired at St. Dominic Savio College in Caloocan City, Philippines and they quoted that their program is 2.5 years in length, which I do prefer over a 4 year BSN degree. May I ask, are there any recent graduates of a 2nd course program such as St. Dominic Savio College: BSN for Doctors and Second Coursers that have turned in an application into the BRN and have been recently approved to take the NCLEX-RN in the United States? You're thoughts and time are very much appreciated. If you have any suggestions or information on other colleges in the Philippines that are offering similar BSN courses please feel free to post, thanks!
