educated in A.U.looking at the US

there is no alternative to apply to CA you will have to apply to another state

thx alot silverdragon for reply. do you know at the moment which states have good nursing job market, so if I applied and got my registration I wont end up with no job.

Unless you are Australian born, I think you are effected by this retrogression and will have to apply for a visa that at the moment is taking 5-6 years to obtain if you want to work there.

...and the nurses from the United states,(all states) write that jobs there are a very few and far between, especially for a nurse that can offer only a qualification and no experience, same situation as Canada.

If you want the traditional, on these boards, get a USA registration from any state you can without any work visa possible for the next 5 years, New York seems to be the place to apply!

Please note I have no experience in US visas.

It is difficult to move from one country to another without having work rights.

The USA at this time i has severely limited giving visas readily to nurses as they do not have a shortage - that is the only reason countries have immigration to supply manpower to a shortage. (there are a few other)

So requiring a work visa is extremely difficult to the United States..
