I want to work in the U.S as a nurse

[flyingbird]

Hi, everyone , I am a Chinese student and I have graduated from a nursing college for two years. Now I am in a master's program of medicine. Recently I hear that the U.S is very in need of nurses and it is recruiting nurses abroad. I want to know whether I have the qualifications to be a nurse and how do you think of nursing in the U.S.

My profile:

graduated from nursing department of Zhejiang University in 2001

have no work experience except one-year 's practice

Now taking the master degree program in the same university and will graduate in2004: confused:

California does not require CGFNS. Many other states do, as well as the TOEFL and TSE. The California Board process takes about 5-6 months to process due to the high demand of applicants. I work for an International Scholarship program that recruits International nurses...but we are targeting English speaking countries due the difficult testing that the US requires them to take if their education was not in English. I think it's great that you have found a way through New York and I wish you the best of luck taking the NCLEX-RN.

I have taken the exam of GRE and TOEFL, the score respectively 2310 and 625. I am going to take the TSE in October this year and take the NCLEX-RN at the end of this year. I have found an healthy company in New York to help me work in the states. At present I am in the precedure towards my goal.

Ask USnurse a question. As far as I am concerned, do you think whether i could find an ideal job in NY and what is the sarary that I can get?

All the member, who can give me some advice about my thought of working as a nurse in the U.S ?
