    iamnomad replied to paki nurse's topic in International Nursing

  10. Massive favour needed!

    iamnomad replied to paki nurse's topic in International Nursing

    Like I said, it's almost, close to 100% impossible that you'll get a work permit. Very few will qualify and mostly in specialty position. And in choosing a state, you choose where you want to live and...

    iamnomad replied to IamHana's topic in Nurse Registration

    I'm pretty sure there's a thread here discussing about KY BON registration process. You will need a CGFNS VisaScreen (VSC) for you to be eligible for RN registration. So you'll need either a TOEFL or...

  16. US nurse grad moving to Perth

    iamnomad replied to spartan_711's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    Unfortunately, without any nursing experience to back you up, your chances are very slim. I don't know of any agency that will accept RN's without experience. You can try applying directly to...

    iamnomad replied to khaleesi123's topic in Nurse Registration

    iamnomad replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Immigration Advice
