hello;I'm a Nurse anesthetist from Africa/Cameroon, graduated in 2016 from Bangangte School of Health, with 9 years work experience as Registered Nurse. I arrived USA 4months ago and will like to pursue my new professional career here in USA/Minnesota where I presently reside. I read online about RN-NCLEX but did not know if it is possible to apply to CRNA-NCLEX without being a license USA RN.Thanks 0 Likes
