International Travel Nurse - Travel nurses Information
International Travel Nurse To The U.S.A
Application to work in
the USA for a foreign nurse can be quite a lengthy process. As it can take
up to a year for all the documentation, exams, visa, greencard etc. to completed.
The Basics
Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS).
CGFNS prescreens foreign educated nurses wishing to practice in the U.S.
Prescreening involves a review of the nurses education:
* licensure in the home country
* English language proficiency testing
* A predictor exam that provides an indicator of the nurse's ability to pass
the U.S. national licensure exam (NCLEX)
Every international travel nurse must meet additional state requirements. The NCLEX is a requirement and established by the State Board of Nursing. Each state has its own Board of Nursing.
You need a work visa, temporary or permanent in order to work in the USA. Obtainable from the U.S. Department of State at Visa Services. Also is clearance required by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service.
Best is to work through a agency to get all the paperwork sorted out on your behalf. I know it sound all very complicated. It is quite a effort. However its been done before. Think of all that lovely $$$$ you going to earn. Let alone the free flights to the USA. Twice are you being flown to the STATES on the agency's cost. First for your introduction and again when you start working as a TRAVEL NURSE.
A very big shortage in nursing services are experienced in the USA. Which is not going to be eased in the near future. Thus as a help do the Americans employ foreign nurses to help ease the problem. And are paying huge salaries including massive benefits and bonuses.
