how should i work as a nurse in US?

Answer 1

There are lots of nursing job opportunities in US.You may find a job through any of the agencies. You got different choices- work in a hospital-based, as a travelling nurse, a special private nurse, a clinic nurse, a caregiver, and so on and so forth. The choice is yours and it won't be difficult to find one as long as you are qualified.

If by chance you are a foreign graduate nurse, PASSING the CGFNS test would be at your advantage and would facilitate getting a nurse job once you have the certificate. Some states may not require CGFNS so you can try looking for prospective employers and try your luck. An English language proficiency requirements must also be met and is one of the requirements for immigration purposes.

Answer 2

if you graduated from a nursing school outside the US, you have to write the CGFNS(commission on graduates of foreign nursing schools) and get your CES, this is the credential evaluation that most board of nursing require in order for you to take the boards (NCLEX) most board of nursing require CGFNS test and english proficiency test, both written and spoken. Getting an employer is also important, mostly through an agency, they will petition you and if approved you will be called at the US embassy for an interview.The US embassy will ask for you visascreen certificate.
the whole process will take two years or more, this is immigrant status, working visa is quiker.

nursing education comparable to US graduates.
certificate of licensure

visacreen requirements:
CGFNS/NCLEX passing scores
