Hello, I am a general nurse, 8 years working as a nurse at the dentist. I want to ask if someone can advise me what I need for the qualification/further training, if I wanted to carry out this position in the US. Thank you.

What are your actual duties? If you work for a dentist, I'm not sure you're a "nurse" in the allnurses sense, although it's possible.
I have a central medical school GCSE General end-of-nurse
I'm not sure what that might be equivalent to. Is there a state you're interested in, in particular? The state's BON website might have some useful information or a phone number you could call if needed. There is also a world nursing forum on this site.

I am interested in California and I would like to continue in the same position as in my country ,thank you
Here is a link that explains California's requirements for international nursing graduates. Hopefully you'll find some useful information there. Good luck!

Here is the actual application by endorsement page if you believe you qualify.

Dentists in the US do not traditionally hire nurses. Some oral surgeons do.

California requires a social security number or ITIN to consider your application. It's also a highly impacted state with up to 40% of nurses unemployed
