First point is that you must pass RN exam i.e., NCLEX if u are already in the USA to work as registered nurse in USA. Whether u have done 3 years Nursing, or BN or MSN from Nepal. YOU must pass RN. YOu can not utilize your foreign BN degree to study further Master degree in nursing. After you pass RN you must pass BSN degree from USA to go further for master degree. I know that is not good but that's the way. IF you are already in Nepal. You have to go to INDIA to take the CGFNS before you come to USA to take NCLEX. Most state in USA wants you to take CGFNS before you come here and take NCLEX. But i would suggest you to come to state like colorado, michigan, texas, california where they do not require you to take CGFNS. Come to USA in dependent visa and prepare for the NCLEX exam either from california board or coloarado board or texas. The texas board required you to have 2 years of work experience. Ask you husband or whoever in USA to contact one of those nursing state board and ask the form to fill up for you if u are coming USA. Once he gets the form filled out for you, you need to send the attested marksheet and certificate in a sealed envelope from your school and nursing college to the Pennsylvania board to evaluate your degree courses. Beside the pennsylvania board wants to see your nursling license directly sent from Nursing council in Nepal. Go to council and have them sent your information to the Pennsylvania where the CGFNS board is located at. ONce the Pensylvania board approves you, tehy will give you the permission to take NCLEX at one of their location in USA. DO not forget to take IELTS Which is very important for your visa screening to get your green card. Hope it helps a little jayamatadi
