RN Applicant is the most appropriate choice
 

In 1986 when I first came, it was RNLP in Illinois (License Pending). We were given just one chance to take & pass the Nursing boards to continue our employment. The hospital provided us with everything. Airfare to the US, free accommodation for a month, review classes & transportation. 

The least these hospitals can provide is to recognize the fact that Philippine nurses are work ready when they graduate. Our curriculum has an intensive clinical rotations that prepare us to the real life settings. Please approve the RN Applicant as their title and not the Foreign Graduate which sounds derogatory
