Norwegian nurse student

Published

Hello, my name is Anne.

Im a nurse student in Noway, its my second year and im done hopefully in 2012. I have been to the states a couple of times and i really want to work there for a year. But i know thats the schools are not the same. And i wonder if anyone knows if I have to take some extra course? or anything.

Thank you so much if anyone can help me :)

Pick a state that you want to work in, go on their BRN website and see what the requirements are for a foreign educated nurses. You are also looking at several years wait if you're looking for a green card, and that's if you don't have one already. Good Luck

Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

You are currently looking at 5+ years wait for a immigrant visa.

Starting point is getting license sorted once you have completed training and have a full set of transcripts. Decision will be made from the board of nursing in the state you apply to whether you meet their requirements or whether you need to make any courses up.
