How does a foreign nurse practice in the USA?
I
am now married to a woman from China; she is a nurse.
I am currently waiting for the visa to process so that she can come over
here. Meanwhile, I would like to acquire some information on how she
can practice nursing in the USA.
How does a foreign nurse obtain the necessary requirements to practice
nursing in America? And, what are those requirements?

she
has to sit the state boards for which ever state you live in, she also
MUST be able to speak english flawlessly and be able to prove this, also
her original lic. must be able to be verified.
2 :
Her
original education would have to be equivalent to a US one. She needs a
verified and translated transcript,then she would need to pass an
English fluency exam and then the state nursing exam. Of course she
would have to have a visa that allows her to work in the first place.
