Hi Sidenius I'm a NZ trained RN working in Australia and I too am looking to work in the US. I'm in the process of validating credentials with CGFNS so far so good, only have to have current practicing certificate verified (AHPRA is a nightmare) finally think I found the correct form, so will see how that goes. I think that you have to start somewhere if that is your dream and everyone wants experience so that is a bonus. I thought about an agency but I have a family and want to be in a specific part of the country so I have started out on my own. Good luck with the paperwork.
