friend moved from Lebanon- how does she get started in getting license

If she is already here she doesn't really need to use an agency. She will need to apply to Texas Board of Nursing for licensure. They require the CES (Credentials Evaluation Service) that is provided thru CGFNS. If she doens't already have a green card, she will also need the Visa Screen Certificate, again available thru CGFNS. Their website is www.CGFNS.org.

An dif she needs a green card, she will also need to pass the series of English exams.

Once her credentials have been accepted by the Texas BON, the she will get permission to sit for the NCLEX exam, not until then.
