Theodz -- Perhaps I have not understood your post, but if you are interested in practicing in the USA, you will certainly have to secure licensure in your home country first.
The Commission on Graduates of Foriegn Nursing Schools website:
http://www.cgfns.org/default.shtml
is quite clear, unless you are LICENSED somewhere -- in some jurisdiction -- you won't be eligible to sit for their exam.
Similarly, NCLEX requires that all candidates FIRST apply for licensure in the state or territory where they wish to practice, then meet all the board of nursing requirements and finally register for the NCLEX exams. I know of no state in the USA where a foriegn graduate can bypass licensure in their home country (or their country of preparation).
I fear your information about the "nurse" now working in homecare may be in error and that the "company" who took care of everything may be profitting from a scam. Don't be taken in, do your homework -- and by all means, sit for your licensing exam in the Philipines as soon as you can!
