Hi



You need to apply to the board of nursing for your state, can easily be found by Google, and you need to follow requirements for foreign trained nurse. Best thing is to read Primer to working in the US. You will also need to pass NCLEX and we have an excellent forum which you can find by clicking the student tab

your welcome. Sometime is worth starting a thread of your own and the answers would then be mainly for you and you wouldn't have to trawl through different answers

Good luck

You need to go thru the requirements for the state for foreign trained nurses. Licensure requirements have nothing to do with immigration status.

Best of luck to you.
