If you do some further reading, there's a couple of good step-by-step process informational advice for the applicants that are IL specific in these forum.
Do i need to take a classes for CNA or LPN to get a cerftificate.?Any advice please...

I don't know about a CNA certificate. It might be very easy to take a course and receive your certification.
But an LPN carries a nursing license, just as an RN does. All of the hoops to jump through regarding education, qualification to sit for the NCLEX, etc., would also apply.

If you challenge LVN by method 3 equivalent education/experience and pass NCLEX your license would only be valid in CA and not eligible for endorsement to any other state. Go to the CA BVNPT website for application information. There are multiple threads in the nurse registration forum on the subject
Thank u guys for quick response appreciated:)

If you are a RN in Philippines, you can also enroll in a specialization course of your choice in US this will give you ample scope for job opportunities as well and simplify the migration process for you. INSCOL offers PG courses, specially designed for RNs that cater to Philippines nurses. You can find more info about these courses here:
