Obtaining a nursing license in the United States as a nurse who graduated abroad typically involves three basic steps:

The first step is to have your foreign nursing credentials evaluated by a reputable credential evaluation agency approved by the state nursing board where you plan to practice. This evaluation determines if your education and training meet U.S. standards.

2.Pass the NCLEX-RN Exam:
After your credentials are evaluated and accepted, you will need to pass the NCLEX-RN (National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses).
This is a standardized exam that assesses your nursing knowledge and skills. To register for the NCLEX-RN, you will need to apply to the nursing regulatory board in the state where you intend to practice.
3.Apply for State Licensure:
Once you have successfully passed the NCLEX-RN, you can apply for a nursing license in the specific state where you plan to work. Each state has its own licensing requirements and application process, so it’s important to check with the state’s nursing board for their specific requirements and submit all necessary documents and fees.

It’s also recommended to start the process well in advance and be prepared for potential delays in the credential evaluation and licensure application process, recomendamos aplicar por New York.
