Hello,
I am going to be a newly qualified adult nurse next year, how many years experience do I need before moving to the USA? And what would I need to do? all advice and experience would be much appriciated. I’d suggest you stick with your original plan of Canada tbh, much easier/quicker than getting a visa for the US will be. Worth noting that Silverdragon, who is a nurse in Canada and replied to your thread, originally wanted to move to the US but wasn’t successful. |

Unless something has changed since we looked into it Canada is harder to get into because the testing is/was done only in Canada the US can take a longtime to get visa but its an easier process as it can be completed in the UK.

Some agencies will take the time and effort to go through the process, but you will have little or no control over where the agency may send you to work. |

I would say if you are still interested in coming state side work on getting your priority date which means applying to a state to take NCLEX by endorsement and getting your credentials evaluated by the CGFNS apply to a state that you hope to work to save money in the future. All the best |

You mean the practical assessment? Yes, I believe that does still have to be done in Canada, most people just combine it with a recce trip. The big advantage of Canada is the visa side of things though, no job offer required usually, and you can live wherever you like, unlike the US. And far quicker, looks as though from a previous post it took you 8.5 years to go through the process?! Wowser. 6 months or less for a Canadian Skilled Worker PR app.
