Thanks for all the information. This is a great board and I am glad I found it. I just finished speaking to my girlfriend and she wanted me to thank you all also we really appreciate all your help and encouragement. I will let you all know how things are going.

Thanks Sue, I have put the sites in my favorites and I'll forward them to my girlfriend (not the 2 years part hehehe). I expected a long wait and a lot of paperwork but... Wow. 2 years! With the shortage in nurses here you would think they would speed up the process a little. Good luck and hang in there!

Thank you very much for the information. I've always said nurses are my favorite ppl in hospitals (maybe that is why I'm marrying a nurse. hummm). Sarah, can you explain "wrote their US license as I did." You guys are great. Thanks again.

Hi Everyone, I am not in nursing but my girlfriend (soon to be my fiancee) is relocating from London, England to Florida, the Ft. Lauderdale area. I am trying to help her find a position in Mental Health nursing or a related field. She recently earned her Masters in Mental Health studies in London and she has about 15 years of experience in both mental heath nursing and ER nursing but she prefers mental health. If possible could someone fill me in on what she needs to do to find a position and get licensed to work in Florida. We have done the research for getting her in the country but I'm a little lost about the differences in the two health care systems. Any insights or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
