Hi Guys,

I am a Canadian RN planning to move to Georgia. Can anybody please give me some information on how to get licensed in Georgia as a Canadian RN. Are there any special requirements that I have to meet? I am in the process of obtaining my Visascreen certificate. However, with the licensing, the site was a little confusing and I couldn't get any clear information. Hope anyone has any information.

Hi.

1. Did you pass NCLEX? 

2. It looks like Georgia BON needed CGFNS CES as well.

3. Could you ask Georgia BON if they allow endorsement from Canada and if they allow you to start application without SSN?

a. Licensure By Examination as a Registered Nurse Graduates of Nursing Education Programs Located Outside of the United States https://sos.ga.gov/plb/acrobat/forms/38 Application - Licensure by Exam for International Graduates%23.pdf

or

b. Licensure By Endorsement as a Registered Nursehttps://sos.ga.gov/plb/acrobat/forms/38 Application - Licensure by Endorsement%23.pdf

4. Some info: https://www.nursinglicensure.org/state/nursing-license-georgia/
