RN trained in Finland seeking NCLEX approval in the US

Updated:   Published

Hello Everybody

I had my nursing education and current registration in Finland. I want to take NCLEX but I am not sure if I will get approval to write the exam without taking any additional courses to much the states or US standards. If there is anybody with Finnish nursing degree, please, share your experience in obtaining your licence in the US. My program was done in English and I wouldn't mind which ever state will give me approval to write the NCLEX, but I have Georgia and California in mind. Experiences with CGFNS will be welcome; how high they rate Finnish nursing education.

I graduated too in Finland, i got evaluated with ERES cause i moved to Texas, how has your process been for you guys? im yet to study for NCLEX which im so worried, please share your experiences if you guys are through with the process.

Hi, I will like to know what to do to get evaluated in ERES and have u written the NCLEX exam by now,can you share your experience,I also want to move to US and I am in my final year.thanks

Hi there,

So nice to hear from you all! :) I was also trained in Finland and now in the process of getting my license in CA. It hasn't gone too smoothly though.. I was told I need to take the course in OB. Now I'm reviewing my options..

Kiki, when did you graduate if you don't mind me asking? The reason why I'm asking is that I'm curious to know if you graduated from a university of applied sciences (polytechnic).

Good luck to you all!

Hi, I will like to know if you have moved to US. And also share any ideas or experience about the process and evaluation and NCLEX exam,I will graduate at the end of the year and I want to move to the states,thanks
