BON suggestion

Hello,

I am an international nurse came to the states on dependent Visa. I will be applying either to Board of Nursing Virginia, or Maryland.

I know Virginia does require English proficiency test. I am trying to find the same for Maryland? Do I have to appear for IELTS/TOEFL if I apply to BON Maryland? My transcripts and study was in English.

I appreciate your suggestions.

Thanks.

    Thanks for your response. That link was really helpful. Social security requirement will become an issue for me. I am on dependent visa and not eligible to get SSN. Does Virgina also have SSN requirement?

    Is this a good idea to apply in some other liberal compact state, and transfer my license to Virginia?

    Thanks.

    Compact state license is only valid if you are a permanent resident of the state. I.e. if you live in MD, a VA license won't work in MD.

    You will just need to take the time to research the various BON's and links to websites can be found at the bottom of the page. CA and Vermont definitely will not take applications without US SSN

    That won't work. If you try to endorse to Virginia you will still have to meet their requirements.As another poster has said, you would need to be a resident of the other state as well.
