Hello, Hoosier nurses. My fiance and I need some help. Lyn has been granted a K1 (fiance) visa and will be arriving in the US from the Philippines in about a month to marry me. She just received her BSN from Western Mindanao State University, but waited to be licensed here in Indiana as an RN. Has anyone any information about how an unlicensed foreign graduate nurse goes about being licensed here? I believe Indiana requires the CGFNS, but without a license already in place, she is not eligible to take it. There must be a way that I am overlooking, and we'd surely appreciate someone pointing us in the right direction. Thank you for any and all comments.

Hello, members. Actually, I'm here under false pretenses, as my username implies -- hahaha. But I need the information that I'm sure is here. I have a fiance who's in the Philippines right now, and she's just been granted her K1 visa. Shortly, she'll be joining me here in Indiana, where we'll be married; then the username, nursehubby will be valid. Almost a year ago, I had the honor of being with her as she received her BSN from Mindanao State in Zamboanga City, Philippines. We plan for her to take the NCLEX and the CGFNS here in Indiana before taking the state licensing exam. She holds no license in the Philippines. Is our thinking on the right track? We'd appreciate hearing from Indiana nurses, and especially those of foreign education, to tell us their views. Thank you all for allowing me to represent her until she arrives.
