Aussie RN (Philippine migrant) wants to practice in New York

[AL TA]

Hi all,

 

I'm AL, a Philippine migrant and an Aussie RN from Sydney, Australia. I work in Urology Surgical Unit as Clinical Nurse Specialist for 9 years now. I also work as Clinical Nurse Facilitator of one of the prestigious universities here for 3 years now. I have completed my 4 year Bachelor of Science in Nursing in the Philippines in 2008 and became Philippine Registered nurse.

I came in Australia in 2012 and completed my bridging course program to be qualified as an Australian Registered Nurse. I finished my Masters degree in Health Management at the University of New England in 2018. 

I am very interested in working as a nurse in US due to family reasons. I am eyeing to work in New York (priority), but can also includes New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland or Virginia (as an options).

I don't know what are the processes or steps on how to apply as an USRN-NY. I would very much appreciate if anyone could advice me the specific details/procedures in applying.  If anyone of you here have the same plan then we could help and work each other to achieve our dreams.  I would love to hear your experiences or expert advice.

Cheers everyone!

AL TA

The best thing you can do is check the state requirements on their website. Most will probably involve CGFNS

Thanks Silverdragon 102 for your initial advice. 

 

I checked the CGFNS website which requires me to create my account to lodge my applications/credentials. How long will it take the credential validation processes? 

Thanks again.

If applying for CVS then usually takes 6 months and then information passed over to the BON and then takes another roughly 2 months to get permission to sit NCLEX. Other states and CES then looking roughly 4 months and then a decision will be made.
