I am a foreign trained nurse with a two years nursing diploma. I was hired in my home country in Ouest Africa. I worked there for 6 years. We do not have the same nurses names. Am i a registred nurse if I will arrive in United State?

You'll need to speak with the board of registered nursing. The educational requirements are different depending on what country you live in. For example, a friend of mine goes to China in the summer to train the RNs there in various skills that are not taught in China, but will be necessary to master if you live/work in the U.S.
You will have to take the State boards in order to obtain your license as an RN in the U.S.
