Re: UK nurse needing advice about moving to USA
Hi
Talking from experience it's a roller coaster.. It has taken 7 years for us to get a start date in june.
We went through an agency, they sorted most things out, if u contact cgnfs they can tell you if you are able to sit the nclex (rn) test. From that point u need to get a job offer from someone who is willing to sponcer you.
Good luck
we stuck with it and it is finally coming together

Re: UK nurse needing advice about moving to USA
Most nurses from the UK need a course in obstetrical, pediatric, and mental health nursing. The missing speciality courses must have a didactic and clinical component and meet the educational requirements of the Board of Nursing where you are applying for licensure.
