http://www.cgfns.org/ I don't know the details, but the website should help. I know that first you have to make sure the degree is accepted in the US. Then you would need to take the NCLEX. If it's been a while since you were in school, you may want to consider taking an NCLEX course to refresh. Even if you've specialized, the test is over everything.

She needs to contact the Board of Nursing in the state in which she wants to work. They will tell her how to proceed. They will assess her education and experience and decide if she is eligible to write the NCLEX.If she passes she will be granted a nursing license for that state.
