CAN BSN GRADUATES, WHO DID NOT PASS THE NURSING BOARD EXAMS BE ACCREDITED AS PNS?
Yes and No. It all depends on which US state/country they would apply for eligibility. Other countries have different requirements, too. Each Board of Nursing is autonomous and has its own set of policies and regulations. In general, however, BSN graduates are over qualified as PNs. In the Philippines, we encourage BSN graduates to enroll in Kennedy Global’s refresher course and NCLEX-PN review program where they will be trained to successfully pass the U.S. National Commission on Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses. Upon compliance with the above KGS’s program, they will be issued a Certificate of Completion as having passed the PN requirements .
