You need to follow the requirements of the board of nursing where you're moving to. Which state are you going to?
Thanks

You need to apply to the state that that you are interested in as far as licensure goes. Be aware that you will not be able to get licensed there until you have passed the IELTS series, that is the only exam that they do accept.
You also need to check with the specific visa that you are going to be getting, not all permit you to work and you may need to go thru separate immigration procedures for that as well.
