transfering to USA nursing specialties

hello,

i'm just wondering if anyone can adivse me on what opporunities are available in Flordia to UK nurses. I've just graduated as an adult nurse, i'm desperate to get a job in the states as a neonatal nurse.

I know the nurse training out there is very different to ours, and you get children's experience before you qualify which we don't. Do you think it's still possible to find jobs in that a neonatal setting in the USA despite this?

Here in the UK it'd be really really hard for me to get any job in a children's ward as an adult nurse, unless i did two more years of University to qualify as a children's RN. But sometimes neonatal wards will take on adult nurses and train them up to that setting.

It's hard to know who to ask for advice on this. Just wonering if anyone had any experience of coming over from abraod to work. I dream of living and working in Florida, fingers crossed i'm taking a gap year there next year!

Many thanks!!
