Which US state doesn't require local board?

Published

Just a quick question, which US state doesn't require a foreign educated nurse to have a local license (where we graduated)? Because a friend of mine wasn't able to sit for the local board exam because she's just a US citizen and not a citizen of that country where she graduated.

Or kindly point me towards the link if there is already a list and for some reason i missed it, thank you. :)

Which state doesn't your friend intend to live and work in? May be better to ask that state BON the question and they may just have to submit something confirming they can not sit local exam

She lives in CA at the moment, but she's planning to get her license in a different state (if there are other states that doesn't require a local license) because i heard right now in CA she has to retake some unit courses in order to qualify.

She doesn't have a particular state in mind yet, I would assume that the states which doesn't require a local license would be on top of her list though lol

You and/or your friend could be checking the BON websites of the states your friend is interested in, and have the info you need, in the time you're waiting for someone to come along here and answer the question for you.

We did check out some bon websites but haven't got the time to check all of them. I guess i was just hoping that someone here would know lol. Thanks anyway.
