Specializes in Pediatrics.

Hello!

Could someone help me in telling what to do in order to work in the state of Florida or in the state of California?

I am a RN in Portugal for over than 2 years and I'm looking forward to be able to work in the US...

Greetings

Rúben

both states have different requirements so you need to decide which state you want to work and meet the requirements which you can find on their websites. Florida requires CES which needs to be done before you send in your application whereas CA do their own assessment. There are threads for both Florida and CA which I am sure will have plenty of information for you to use
