You would have to take the board certification exam and if you failed that you would have to seek further education/training from an accredited college.
2 :
Most, if not all, states will accept a valid nursing license earned in Viet Nam as evidence of your qualifications and will grant you a reciprocal license. All employers will require a probationary period wherein you'll be expected to learn the peculiarities of doing the job their way. Fortunately, you'll be paid while you go through that probationary period. Welcome to the USA!
3 :
You have to apply for a license in the state in which you wish to work. They will evaluate your education and you will be required to write and pass the NCLEX exam. Also you will have to deal with retrogression, which will mean several years wait to get a visa to come to the US to work.

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.
