In 20 years working in medicine in the US, it's safe to say I've worked with more Filipinos than Americans. Filipino LVNs (LPN outside of California) are heavily employed by nursing homes in the US, largely because Filipinos will do the dirty work for much lower wages than a US-trained nurse. Get your RN or you won't have as many options in the setting you work in, the type of job you do, or the amount of money you make. As far as I know, passing the NCLEX in the Philippines is the same as in the US-- it's the same test, or it wouldn't have the same name. Because nurses are in such high demand, it shouldn't be difficult for you to find a job when you graduate. It is especially helpful that you have dual citizenship, because you won't have to go through the hassles of dealing with the visa nightmare.
