I am a nurse (who get a psychiatric nurse license only) in HK but i did not have general nurse license. I studied the Bachelor Degree of U of Western Sydney (Australia). Can I find a nurse job in US?
Do anyone can tell me? Or any resource for reference? Cos i ask the immigrant agent but they had no information for me.
You would have to be certified by the nursing board. And also pass exams to obtain state license. Each state is a little different in their state licensure.
Some states require passing written and practical exams, so you would need to see and apply. All states require fingerprinting clearance for healthcare licensure.
Most hospitals in US also require a drugscreen and physical exam as part of the pre-hiring process. All these things, plus going through HR, physicals etc can take up to 18 months before you can start on a job even if you have a job offer. So... start early.
