hi!!! I am a filipino nurse w/o any experience. I graduated last 2007 and took the Philippine Licensure exam and passed. I am planning to take NCLEX in NY instead in the Philippines. I have a tourist visa already (considering that I have an E-passport) , am planning to visit NY for 3 mos.,(allowed stay), and will take the NCLEX exam. My concern is, do I still need to pass the ENGLISH exams before I can take  NCLEX, even if I am already in NY? I believe that NY does not require a CGFNS exam but should pass CVS and VS/NY. I am hoping for any replies.. It would be of great help.. Godbless you all!!!
