Uk to US

World International

Hello, I wonder if anyone can help me. I am a UK trained RN - I hold a degree and have 3 years experience in adult nursing. I am moving to the states next year - Tennessee specifically, and I wonder what I need to do to work there. Will I just be classed as an LPN because of the differences in our training? In ehich case, how do I go about converting from LPN to RN?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
