Here is my situation:
I'm an Iranian citizen.
I recently graduated in the Philippines.
I can't work in Iran
Iranian educational system doesn't evaluate my nursing education although most other countries do evaluate!!
I can't work in the Philippines because they don't allow me to pass their national nursing board exam! It's only for Filipino citizens
I would love to work in other countries but they all accept only experienced nurses!!
Can anybody guide me please .I really don't know what to do.
Where can I start working as a nurse? I would go anywhere!!

Re-do your education in Iran and work there.

Go back to school in Iran where you already have work rights
It's always recommended to secure your nursing education in the country where you can live and work. The Philippines will accept anyone but will only allow Filipino citizens to be licensed and work as a nurse in the country.

What was your plan when you decided to go to nursing school in the Phillipines? How much research did you do before deciding to pursue this path? (Did you not realize you were going to end up with a degree you couldn't use in Iran and couldn't use in the Phillipines? Did you investigate the international job prospects for inexperienced new grads?)
