Relocating to the US

Hi everyone! I am from Philippines and relocating to the US this year. We are not sure yet where in the state. We are thinking Georgia. Can anyone give me some information about Georgia nursing job? I'll be on a process of NCLEX RN once we pick a state for a better job of nurses. I prefer a nursing residency program for newly graduate nurse. What's the possibility of me getting a job there? I've read some of the hospitals there and they have nursing residency job for newly graduate nurse. I prefer OR residency.

I can't start working on my papers for nclex if I don't know what states I'm applying for a RN license. It seems that Georgia is inexpensive to live. I hope anyone can give me some information and advice of choosing a state for RN license.

    I think the first step would be: what will your visa status be and will you have work rights? Will you be able to get a social security number? I would then suggest going to the BON website of any state you're interested in and see what their criteria is for allowing foreign-educated nurses to sit for the NCLEX. As a foreign graduate you may have trouble getting into a new graduate residency, but you may want to contact them directly to see.

    Oh, and avoid California completely.

    Visa is not a problem. I'm married to american citizen. We just don't want to live in a cold state like Mennisota. He is from Mennisota. I don't want to live there because of the climate. Our big concern is for me getting a job in the US. The license is good for one state only. I know there are state that accepting license endorsement.
