Hi All,

        Thanks for sharing,but there is still something missing.Let me explain whatever i know, if u guys don't mind.

1. A nurse with RN degree from Nepal must have a license to work as a RN in U.S.

2. To get a license u have to pass NCLEX exam from the state board of ur choice.

3. Some states require credential evaluation of ur previous education but some doesn't. Check requirements of the  board.

4. You can do ur credential evaluation from cgfns.Visit www.cgfns.org.

5.Sheel is correct, some boards require english proficiency before taking NCLEX. You can take either IBT or IELTS.(for ielts 6.5 overall and 7 for speaking).

6. Once you have RN license then take english exam if u haven't,coz passing score in english is mandatory for foreign educated nurses to get greencard.

7. Now search for hospitals that provide sponsership,or u can go through recruiters.

8.The hospital /recruiter will do all ur paperworks like filing for work permit and adjustment of status(greencard).After 60 days of filing u will get work permit and can start ur job.

9.It will take 1-2 yr for Greencard.

BUT,the situation is different since the last 20 months coz SCHEDULE A(which is specially for RN and PT)is no longer available so the nurses fall under EB3 which is in severe retrogression since last july.Plz do not be disheartened,prepare for ur license exam.America still needs foreign nurses .They will definitely lift retrogression or will start schedule A again.There is much possibility for Sche.A then EB3.

Finally, all the best for exam and ur future.
