Please, I am a registered nurse. I would want you to provide me some valuable information on how I can get licensed as a registered nurse in any of the states in US.
I am not a US citizen and I live outside US but, I have a burning zeal cum love to work in the States. US has done so much for our world in diverse divergences. In a bid to personally show appreciation for all she has done to better our world, I want to render my nursing services to the citizens and dwellers of this God's own nation.
Thanks in anticipation to your valuable and prompt replies.
THONY

You need to pick a state in the US in which you would like to practice in and read their requirements in order to be able to be granted permission to sit for the NCLEX. Each state is different and has different requirements. You are also going to be waiting for years at a chance at a visa since there are none currently available. Since you didn't post your nursing background it's kind of hard to help you in which direction to turn but picking a state in the US and start the process of meething their requirements is a good start. Be prepared to be waiting for awhile since it does take foreign educated nurses awhile in order to be allowed to sit for NCLEX, good luck.
