Needing advice please

Hi everyone,

So im planning to move to the US working as a registered nurse but here is the confusing part, I am a dual citizen for Canada/Australia and I completed all my nursing education (3 year degree in Australia) and I am still currently living in Australia....... would I be best applying for a Nursing license in Canada and then move the US or would I be better off applying to CGFSN straight away and get licensed in the US (ideally would like to work/live in North Carolina or Virginia.

Thanks for all your help ?

    You don't need to have a Canadian license if your intention is to US.

    NNAS process is under CGFNS service, but it's more expensive and not worth trying unless you want to work in Canada. (very picky to foreign educated nurses)

    You may apply for any state, such as NC or VA, but you probably need SSN to apply.

    New York Nursing Board does not require SSN for applications, many foreign nurses are applying for NY, then endorse to other states, so it takes long but if you have no SSN, then not many choices.

    However, NY uses CVS service under CGFNS, not CES or CP like some other states.

    You need to research NC Board of Nursing / VA Board of nursing websites for more details, as well as CGFNS services.

    Good luck.
