Specializes in Nursing Instructor.

I am a RN with my masters in Nursing. I have been a nurse for 18+ years and have been teaching for 7 at a BN college in Manitoba Canada. My family is considering moving to Fort Worth Texas; anyone know who I would contact to find out what I would need to do to get registered and work/teach in the USA?

www.BON.texas.gov.  Get on the phone and talk to them about it, they're the only ones who can really help you get through the process.  Some of the representatives suck and are inpatient but that's their job is to tell you how to get your license.
