Reciprocity for foreign trained Nurse

Published

I pass my NCLEX RN last friday, with 75 items! It was so tough that I couldn't imagine that I made it. Now, I'm looking to where may I apply for a reciprocity in another state, where there's no IELTS/TOEFL requirements for foreign trained nurses like me...My Original State Board of Nursing is Michigan..Any inputs / suggestions guys/ feel free to comment..I will appreciate it.

There are a lot of states out there that waived English proficiency and usually that information are posted on their websites.

However, I believe your question should be, "where do I intend to practice?". Because there is no sense endorsing your license to a state not requiring English proficiency if you're only doing that to avoid the IELTS/TOEFL especially if you're not here in the US yet.

thank you for the feedback Flamingwallflower.i appreciate it. I am already here in the US. I'm currently residing here in MD.
