help! Australia nurse to Nevada, OB requirement

[vivi123]

Hi guys, 

I am a nurse working in Sydney, Australia. I also did my bachelor's and gained my first license in Australia. 

The story is, I am trying to move to Nevada. Passed Cgfn CES report, and started applying on Nevada BON. hoping to get authorisation to take NCLEX, pass it, get the license, find a job and move. 

But now Nevada BON told me "We cannot determine that you have completed a didactic and clinical course in OB/maternal health nursing"

I told them OB is not in the curriculum and I work in Emergency and passed cgfn IDK if it is going to make a difference. I am waiting for their reply, 

I have browsed online for solutions like No Tomorrow, some people say you can get licensed in other states and then be endorsed in the state you want to move --> I checked the NEVADA endorsement requirement, they still need an education transcript. 

I am so stuck. I thought after passing cgfn everything would be easier but no :( 

Has anyone experienced similar things or can anyone give me some ideas? 

 

Thanks!

Yea, I need Nevada license the multistate one won't help me. 
I ended up found a school in Nevada that can let me enrol into their maternity class (with clinical) in their nursing program. I'm now waiting for enrolment in fall. I hope I'll complete this one single unit smoothly and I pray for no more unexpected requirements 

Verify with the BON that this solution will satisfy their requirements.
