Jan 15 by loriangel14You would have to contact the BON in the state in which you wanted to work. They would instruct you on how to apply for a license. If you meet their requirements you would be able to write the NCLEX-PN.You would need to have a Green Card in order to work and due to retrogression that will take about 6 years and you have to find an employer willing to wait that long.
Thanks, SD. That crossed my mind but I wasn't sure.Last edit by loriangel14 on 11:21 am - Admin

You can visit the country with a visitor's visa. You can't stay. You won't be allowed to work due to not having a social security number. It's illegal and not advised to try this.
Also working as an LPN requires licensing that you would not be able to obtain.
