Getting a Nursing license in Georgia from Canada

Published

Hi Guys,

I am a Canadian RN planning to move to Atlanta next year. Can anybody please give me some information on how to get licensed in Georgia as a Canadian RN. Is there any special requirements that i have to meet? The site was a little confusing and i couldn't get any clear information.

Have you looked at the GA BoN website for licensing by examination as an internationally educated nurse ?

Apply to the GA BON for a license. You will have to pass the NCLEX and get a work visa.

Hi,

I am also hoping to move to Atlanta next year. Where are you in the process? Any feedback? I am kind of stuck at the application process as the board is asking about US citizenship.

We might be able to help eachother. Let me know.
