Relocation from London to Florida

[michaeldwg]

Hi Everyone,

I am not in nursing but my girlfriend (soon to be my fiancee) is relocating from London, England to Florida, the Ft. Lauderdale area. I am trying to help her find a position in Mental Health nursing or a related field. She recently earned her Masters in Mental Health studies in London and she has about 15 years of experience in both mental heath nursing and ER nursing but she prefers mental health. If possible could someone fill me in on what she needs to do to find a position and get licensed to work in Florida. We have done the research for getting her in the country but I'm a little lost about the differences in the two health care systems. Any insights or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
