Best Us state for italian nurse

Published

I would try to work like a nurse in Usa.

What is the best state for nurse and why?

I read that i must pass the Nclex in the single state and i work only in state where i will pass the nclex, right?

I have a 3 years bachalor in nursing in italy. If i come in Usa what will be my level( RN or B.sc)?

Each state has their own requirements and once you have passed NCLEX you do not need to take it again as it is a national exam. This means you can work in all states as long as you meet their requirements.

Things are very tough at the moment to work in the US due to retrogression and the 4 plus years wait to get an immigrant visa allowing you to live and work in the US. Many are struggling to find a employer willing to wait this long plus many US nurses are struggling to find work. If you look at work visas then a minimum requirement is BSN and for many it is very expensive for the employer (employees can not pay for it) and it is more of a specialist visa

Better to think about which state you want to live and work in and then look at their requirements for International trained. Links to the state BON (Board of Nursing) can be found at the bottom of the page

CGFNS offer a couple of different services but most common is CES which is a breakdown of your nursing transcripts to make sure your training is same/similar to US state requirements. As mentioned to work as a nurse in the US you must meet requirements and pass NCLEX
