Move to Wisconsin

You would need to contact the WI board of nursing to see if you would need anymore training or schooling. I am not sure of the equivelency of the educations.

Best of luck in moving to Wisconsin! I'm sure your wife will be happy to be back home!

David,

I will second what onyz said. The board is the one who can decide if you meet qualifications. I work at a large teriary care center in the center of Wisconsin and we have many doctors and nurses from other countries, so I wouldn't think there would be a problem.

Welcome to this wonderful state. I am a transplanted Texan, but consider this my home state.

Welcome to the upper midwest.....

Wisconsin Board of Nursing: Phone: (608) 266-0145

Proof of licensure must be obtained from the jurisdiction or Canadian province in which the applicant wrote an acceptable examination as well as the jurisdiction or Canadian province in which the applicant was most recently employed.
