ANY foreign trained and examined RNs must take the American NCLEX before practicing in the USA.
As to immigration and where and when you take the NCLEX, 9-11 changed all the rules. Most require you to be licensed as an RN in your own country first.
CGFNS has a website that explains everything you have to do to be credentialed in the USA if you were foreign trained. You will have to do english tests etc.
IF you have a Phillipines program that didn't give you any hospital experience you won't pass the NCLEX first time. Get some experience first.

Yes...to show them you are competent at your past experiences (Philippines).
