Nursing and the Green card

[Julie]

Desperate to get to Florida with my family, thinking of changing my career to nursing as this seems the only other route other than the L1.

Has anybody used this route and can give advice on which line of nursing to go down i.e Registered Nursing, General nursing ? How long it can take etc...

Any information would be great

Thanks

The current training for nurses last 3 years to become qualified.

You will have to get some UK expereince once qualifiying

Then you have to learn the US way to pass the NICLEX

I have looked into it and its a long process up to about 18 months.

A freind of mine has now been waiting to get into the US for over one year now and has passed her NCLEX exam.
