Hi, not sure if anyone will see this but i am graduating from my RN studies in Australia this year and really want to live and work in America some time soon. I am in the process of applying for a Graduate Program (a supported RN job) and in the hopes I get one I plan to see it through and then to move to California! However I am very unsure about how to go about this... I have researched online about all the nursing agencies in the US that can support you during the NCLEX exam and immigration process but im unsure if they are legit. If anyone could answer my questions that would be great! Should I be looking for an nursing agency to guide me in the right direction in order to live and work in the US or is it easier to do it myself? Besides the NCLEX exam is any other further study required ontop of my Australian RN degree needed to work in America as an RN? Once passing the NCLEX exam am i guaranteed a nursing job in America? What is the pay rate for nurses in America? Could someone please explain the health care system to me? Once passing the exam I understand a US employer will need to sponsor me in order for me to get a green card? does this mean if i change employers i will have to apply for a new green card? How long does the green card last? How long can i stay in America for? In Australia, graduate nurses undergo a graduate nursing year before commencing work as an RN, meaning I would work as an RN but my job role is more supported and includes 2 rotations within the hospital. Could i work in America starting next year without any paid RN work experience or is experience required? THANKYOU!!!
