There are some.

But may I just ask your purpose?

Coz even if you become a licensed nurse in the US, and be eligible for petition (not necessarily be approved), how can you get an experience to back up your application? I believe you already know the retrogression issue.

Where are you from?

Your best bet is to be safe and take your local exam in your home country and gain some experience. Good Luck

I hope I'm explaining this clearly, in order to practice as a nurse in the us you must take and pass the NCLEX-RN or NCLEX-PN. There isn't a NCLEX-BSN. RN's are either ADN, BSN, MSN, or PhD graduates. So after you successfully pass the exam then you may practice as a Registered nurse or Vocational Nurse/Practical Nurse. All the BSN is a level of education that you posess. When you work on the floor as a staff nurse you're not refered to as the BSN, but you can be referred to as a BSN graduate. I hope I answered your question because I'm having a hard time trying to understand what it is that you're asking.

Best thing to do is too look through the list of state BON's from A to W, check their websites and find the ones that do not require a license from the foreign nurse's country of origin. I started my own search and went from Alabama to District of Columbia and it looks like Arizona and Colorado do not require a license from your country of origin. Why don't you do the rest of the homework and search from Florida to Wyoming.
