NY or Floride or Texas BON registration

Published

Good evening,

I am a registered nurse from the UK and I am thinking of moving to the United States, I would like to know the process to obtaining a green card and employment. I was also reading online about the short of hours for UK trained nurses for pediatrics; psych and obstetrics. How does that work?

Thank you

Before thinking about immigration you need to sort nurse registration out. NY has their own requirements and you have to go through cvs by CGFNS, this is regardless if initial application or endorsing. Your transcripts have to show clinical and theory hours in Paeds, Mental Health, Obstetrics and Adult. Any missing will result in you not meeting requirements and not being allowed to sit NCLEX

Thank You for the reply. I am curretly applying to the NY BON via an employment agency. I have read from few posts that some UK nurses were able to be cleared by BON in Texas, NY and Florida without having to make up the hours. I would to know what they did.

Thank you
