Check the specific state board of nursing about reciprocity and other requirements.

In the US nurses graduate from accredited nursing programs and then take a licensing exam. Each state has different requirements so you would need to check with whatever state you were intending to move to. Many foreign nurses are working in this country so there must be some way that these things are handled. A good way to find out would also be thru an employer that hires foreign nurses. They would have this info.

Write to CGFNS International(Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools): 3600 Market Street, Suite 400 Philadelphia, PA 19104-2651 USA They will tell you all the steps you need to do to become a nurse in US. Good luck Foreign nurse.
