Have you visited the CGFNS website? It They help you do the credentialing of your nursing transcripts from the Philippines.

You do not need to take the Philippines NLE if you plan to work as a nurse here in the US.

Most used to just submit letter of explanation to CA BRN on why they didn’t take local exam

Here is the steps on application by examination in California Board of Nursing. Maybe it will help you start the process. ?
