UK RN to New York

Published

Hello fellow nurses. I am currently 4 years out of nursing school and working in Australia in Paediatrics as a RN. I did my BSc in Adult nursing in London. I am wondering if there are any UK nurses who got licensed in NY. I have just applied for the CGFNS last night. I understand I may need to do maternity ect. Second question anyone know of any schools in NY or the USA that offers this?

 

 

Thanks

NY. When are you doing your NCLEX?

I'm still waiting on my CES report being generated. I paid to have it expedited but had to get back in touch with the Uni for further information so I've emphasised to the Uni to try and detail as much about placement areas as possible for example hoping my health visiting placement will count for maternal/Paeds and I'll have enough hours. All the best for today!

I'm also doing it myself and from the UK. Find a lot of agencies aren't interested in you until you have meet the requirements to sit the NCLEX

Cgfns ny

Thanks for the replies. So am I right in understanding that New York seems to be easiest state to gain license if qualified as adult nurse uk. I currently work ICU
