Conversion of Philippine BSN to US BSN

Hi, I'm a Philippine BSN graduate, FEU batch 2008 and currently working as an ER-RN here in California. I am planning to advance my career; however, since I'm a Philippine BSN graduate, I want to know how to convert it into US BSN and what are the steps that should be taken. If anyone have done the process, I'd be very grateful if you could help me with this dilemma.
What do you mean convert? Your BSN is just as good as a US BSN because you graduated from a CHED accredited school (I assume).

Do you know where to go to have my Transcript of Record be submitted and evaluated? I'm kind of frustrated with this issue because I'm planning to get in to CRNA program, but because of my educational status, it may prevent me from being accepted to the program.

you can have your transcript evaluation in AERC. check their website http://www.aerc-eval.com/ then after your trascripts been evaluated try to apply to any UC or CSU for a graduate program. btw, what hospital are you working in?

I had a friend who was a BSN graduate from there and was missing about 3-6 classes which she had to complete before she was admitted into the MSN program. It was a pain to have them reviewed but she said it didn't take as long as she thought it was going to take. Hope this helps. Good Luck

Are you referring to masters program? Some institutions requires CGFNS-CES Full Course by course evaluation plus TOEFL. Your Phil BSN is not going to be converted to US BSN but your credentials will be evaluated and compared to a standard BSN program in the US.

Here is a site for the U.S. department of Education about evaluation of foreign credentials:http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list...-forrecog.htmlI contacted one of the agencies they listed to have a South African degree evaluated. It was relatively inexpensive and reasonably fast.

all the site recomended is correct, but it would behove you to ask your career counselor in school your enrolling so that they may direct you to their school accredited Education Eval company, they will get your credential evaluated in no time.Like they said, you will need a couple of classes to complete US BSN before you can enroll for MSN. Classes will be mainly focused on English and Math, of some sort. Not sure how its done in civillian but in military they used NCC-NY for my credential evaluation during my recruitment, and my certificate letter says my credential is equal to Bachelor's Degree. Good Lucknote: I am UST- Philippines BSN graduate 2004

Quote from rex_rnThat's awesome! How did you contact the NCC NY? Is that Nassau Community Collge, NY? I want to hear from you since you've done it already. As of now, I'm getting my experience in critical care, because I need to accumulate a certain amount of hours to be accepted to the aforementioned program. But, I want to have a peace of mind with my BSN already, so if mandated to take certain classes, I can do it by now since I only work 3 days per week.
