Before you do anything I would suggest making sure your transcripts show clinical and theory hours in Paeds, Mental Health, Obstetrics and Adult. Missing any of these will result in your RN application with the state being denied due to insufficient hours. Once you have your registration sorted with the state and have passed NCLEX then you start looking for a employer willing to sponsor you for a immigrant visa (EB3)
Are you a new grad?
Do you have clinical and theory in adult, geriatric, mental health, pediatrics, AND obstetrics/maternity on your transcript? US nurses are generalist trained.
If you are an inexperienced new grad an employer would have a difficult time proving they cannot find a new grad nurse that's a citizen or permanent resident to fulfill an open job. Nurses that are generalist trained and have several years experience (preferably in a specialized area such as critical care, OR/theatre, obstetrics, NICU, PICU, emergency) will have more opportunities

I am a United Kingdom based nurse at the moment. I did my general nursing degree, I have experience of 6 years - orthopaedics for 3 years and palliative/end of life care (hospice) for 3 years. I also have experience of education/facilitation.
I would like some advice about how to work in charlston, South Carolina. Any help would be gratefully received.
