How does a basic RN become a Surgical Nurse?

I did not qualify for NCLEx-rn, how do i apply to become a licensed vocational nurse instead?

• i am a graduate from the philippines and i applied for nclex-rn but upon evaluation, they found out that i lack hours in pediatric and psychiatric nursing. i tried to find a school that would accept students under these circumstances but most do not offer individual courses,some put me on the waiting list without any assurance of getting a slot. Now, i am thinking of applying to become a LVN. how do i apply for it? can i just transfer all my credentials to BVNPT? how do i do that?

• Answer:

  LVN would also require hours in pediatrics and psych.
