The main problems is if you are eligible for a visa. Take a read through this...if you fit into any of the categories then you may have a chance of working in the US.

I see you have already posted in the Canada forums. There was a thread a week or so ago about a family who had moved from the UK at the end of last year...the husband is a crane driver.

I,m a State Registered Nurse, and have been for 33 years, I hope I have some sort of chance of some part-time nursing work or I,ll go nuts otherwise!!! I have only been here a month, getting married to USA citizen, applying for change of status at the end of March.

Would probably require a security clearance too, so without already being a LPR, chances are slim to none.

Good luck though!

So, get to work on your NCLEX and state registration. You do not have the issue the OP does.
