On most US states (if not all), to be eligible to take the licensure exam for LPN:
1. a person is required by the State Board of Nursing to be a graduate in any of their approved and accredited nursing programs/schools (and of course you have to be a US citizen, green card holder or have a student visa to study on any US schools)
2. take xxx number of classroom hours in the US
3. be physically present for xxx number of hours for clinicals in the US
The only classes one could take online, if permitted, are non-nursing related such as English, Math, et al.
Ask any State Board of Nursing in the US. They'd say almost the same thing. They won't even let you enter the examination room if you fail to comply to any of their requirements.
Sure, the school does exists but that mere fact doesn't guarantee anything at all.
I'm sorry to disappoint anyone but this is the truth. There are way too many nursing diploma mills and scams in the Philippines. Many people love the "most convenient option" (I mean, who doesn't? right?)...only to find out that they're doomed for a dead end.
It's all about facts, facts and more facts. Don't seek for what you only want to see.
