Why don't you simply call the Vermont state board of nursing and find out?

Have you looked at the VT BON site and look under the "International" applicant tab? Also, you should make sure that you get your SSN from your fiancée visa, as it will be required on the application to be considered.

Sorry to say you will not qualify for Vermont licensure.

It is always best to apply to state you plan to work in---links to all Boards of nursing found at the bottom of every allnurses page.

10. I did not receive a nursing license in the country where I received my nursing

education. Am I qualified to apply to Vermont?

No. You must hold a nursing license in the country where you graduated from your

nursing program.
