I am not in the Nursing profession and know next to nothing but I'd like to keep my future lady from making any mistakes in schooling. She is in The Philippines. At this point she is thinking LPN. Schools over there are two years for that. If you become an American Citizen or are least married to an American how would you know if the school over there is accepted in the USA? I've advised thinking of RN and while it's going to take up to two years before she comes over here (the time it takes for LPN) I am correct in assuming all RN's are 4 year degrees? I am in Seminole County Florida, and wasn't sure but it seems like the local community college gives you enough of a steady Nursing education to allow you to sit for the NCLEX-RN. Here is where I am getting this the FAQ for Seminole State College. Again I'd assumed it was all a 4 year degree maybe they are saying it qualifies you to transfer into one but it also seems if you can take the NCLEX-RN you are in fact an RN. Perhaps the program is much more comprehensive than a regular 2-year degree? She would have to pass the TEAS to be accepted. https://www.seminolestate.edu/nursing/degrees-diplomas/generic-track/rn-as
