You will need to look at the requirements of the board of nursing in the state where you want to be licensed.

I think its called a nclex test or something like that. Then you can start applying to get your licence. You can take that in many locations not just the US. https://www.ncsbn.org/nclex.page

It has been done....but you need to check that State Nursing Board for their particular procedures and requirements. Individual states have their own practices.

I feel like you did not understand what I wrote.

 

You need to look at the specific requirements set by the board of nursing of the state where you want to live.  So, for example if you are going to live in California, you would look at the requirements for foreign-trained RNs to become licensed in California.  Every state has it's own board of nursing.  Google yours.

This is only partly correct.  The OP needs to find out specifically whether his/her educational credentials qualify to sit for NCLEX in the state where they will live.

Just echoing what others have already said about looking into the requirements of the state in which you'll reside. Each state has specific requirements regarding foreign nursing license/education credential evaulation, criminal background checks, English proficiency requirements etc. I know because I am now helping my spouse wade through the requirements of the Texas Board of Nursing. Good luck!
