Hello All,

I am a RN in Korea, and currently staying here in U.S. with student visa.

I would like to know some information how to become a RN in U.S.

I have heard I may need a sponsor in order for me to work at a hostpital without green card.

Please give me any kinds of information that might be useful in my situation.

Thanks in advance,
 
Hi, First, You need to contact the state board of nursing from the state you wish to work and ask them for their requirements. You will have to do a state exam from the board of nursing NCLEX-RN and pass. Then, you will need to get a CGFNS certificate. Log on to www.cgfns.org for more information. You can also contact the human resources department of any hospital and ask them if they sponsor. If they do, more than likely they will tell you what you need to do.
