:welcome: Welcome to these forums!
Sorry, but you'll need to be educated at the baccalaureate level in order to work in other countries. In other words, you will need to be an RN with a BSN degree if you intend to travel to places outside the US for the purpose of working as a nurse. Good luck to you!
thanks so much for your quick reply. i figured that. do you know anyone hiring travel lpns in usa??????????? anyone? thanks

there is not really a need for a travel nurse in africa, nurses there are leaving due to no jobs. having worked there as a supervisor for 2 years i think it would be extremely difficult for a us trained nurse to operate under the expectations in africa (one rn to about 25 acute med surg patients...in liberia for example.)
as far as lpns and agencies, you will probably have to try the biggies, like cross country. i do not know much about it, but the issue is that some hospitals do not use lpns at all, so travel positions are fewer, or for some specalized areas where lpns are more utilized like ltc, or home health
