Depends on your plans. Will you be going on a fiancee visa? Or a NAFTA visa?

Gay marriage isn't legal within Illinois right now so I think I would have to go with NAFTA

Once you have graduated your starting point would be meeting state BON requirements, pass NCLEX and find a employer willing to go the NAFTA route
