Hey there, Im currently studying for my RN (adult) qualification in the UK. My partner has asked me to move to the states with him when his visa runs out next year. Since it seems a difficult process to transfer my RN qualification to the USA I was wondering if any of you could give me any information on training to be an LPN? How long is the training? How much does it cost? What is the pay like? We are looking to move to San Diego so any specific info would be great. Is there any chance I could get credit for my prior learning? What is the main difference between lpn and RN- (except pay) Is it relatively easy to get a job? How easy is it to convert from LPN to RN and how much does this cost? Thank you for all your help, all the above is obviously dependent on me getting a green card but there is always hope. Hope you are all well take care

Thank-you for your help, if you have any idea which schools in the USA do this programme. I may as well take a look. Also would this all be the same if I obtained a job through an agencies? Also do I have to be a graduate rather than a diplomat? I would only have 60 credits as level three to make up to obtain an honours degree, is this worth doing? Also how many hours in paediatrics etc do I have to undertake? Sorry for bombarding you all with these questions, starting to feel a bit stressed now. Take care MG xxx

Hey there, I was wondering if any of you could help me or know of anyone who i could contact who can. I am currently studying for an Advanced Diploma in Adult Nursing leading to RN registration in the UK, I am nearing the end of the second year. My partner is an American citizen and his visa runs out the month I qualify and he has asked me to return to California with him. I am aware I have to sit the NCLEX exam but do I require any experience to work in the states or can i obtain a newly qualified RN position over there? Is there a course I would have to or could complete instead of having experience? I do not want to have wasted three years and give up a job I love but I also do not want to stay in the UK when my partner will be going back to the States. I would be grateful for any help or advice you have on this matter. Thanks Midgetgems!
