Swedish nurse to USA

[Obezer]

Hello fellow nurses / nurse students!

I'm a 20 year old male nurse student at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm-Sweden. I'm a very engaged student at Karolinska. I'm in the board of Karolinska - helping the professors develop the nurse programme in Sweden by being their Eyes and ears in all classes. I'm also in the section of nurses in Stockholm - where we discuss what we want included in the programme. Also I work extra as a nurse assistant at a nursing home.

I lived in America last year and took some classes at a Community college ( it was all I could afford). I have no relatives or connection to America at all. However I want to move there and work. I want to make an international carrier as a nurse specialized in anesthesiology and critical caring.

I study in Sweden because the education here is free, and I get licensed all over Europe, which gives me a larger amount of countries to start work in right away.

Now to my question. When I graduate, is there SOMEHOW I can get a license and start working in the US? Is there someone who has experienced working with a Swede, or is there a swede here that has immigrated to America? :)

Thanks!

Once you graduate as a registered nurse you apply to the state you wish to live and work in, meet their requirements pass NCLEX and then find a employer willing to go the work/immigrant route
