Thanks so much for taking the time to reply and try and help much appreciated. I have sent for my EAD so I work over here but have been informed that it can take months?!?!?! Aaahh?! Oh well will take your advice and try and liase with some local agencies BON and local colleges to see my chances of realistically managing to work over here. Thanks again :[anb]: Happy Holidays :) Clair

Hi all, I have found the different threads so useful over the past few days that I have been having a browse but I didnt manage to come across all the answers I need . . . . So here goes, I am an RMN, trained in the UK, who's registration is still current and is able to practice, however, I am on a career break on an L2 visa in the US at the moment with my Husband and our Son. I have 5-6 years experience in an acute care setting in the UK. I just wanted to look at if I would be able to train / make up hours / work over here? Maybe if I were to get an EAD? Has anyone ever done this or heard of anyone who has? Would it be a case of exploring getting certified and my transcripts checked via a hospital from the US or due to my immigration status is it a no go? Where or who would be my first port of call? Ooops dont think I paused for breath there!!!!! Ah well just a query and would much appreciate anyone's time and attention on the matter . . . . . . Thanks Clair
