Hi there, new to this forum. I am a Registered Psychiatric Nurse trained in Canada. I have heard rumours that there are some states we can practice in. Does anyone know someone who has done this or have you done this? Could I write the NCLEX and then work as an a RN(diploma) there. Our course is 2 and half years and we get a diploma. I was thinking of going to Texas or hawaii. Thanks a bunch, 2525
