I'm a first time user of this forum and from what I've seen, everyone's been really helpful in trying to help each other out with nursing issues. So I'm going to pose a few questions that I've had regarding obtaining an RN licence in the USA :wink2:
I just recently graduated with a BScN from a nursing school in Canada and I possess dual citizenship as I was born in California, but I have Canadian citizenship since I have been living in Toronto for 20 years. I was wondering if a local licence is still required to write the NCLEX and if I would need a work Visa? And in general, how do I go about applying for a US licence?
Now I actually do possess an SSN, but I figure I will contact the BON for the states that I would like to work in to figure out exactly what I should do to apply for a licence.
