How does a foreign nurse practice in the USA?
I am now married to a woman from China; she is a nurse. I am currently waiting for the visa to process so that she can come over here. Meanwhile, I would like to acquire some information on how she can practice nursing in the USA. How does a foreign nurse obtain the necessary requirements to practice nursing in America? And, what are those requirements?

she has to sit the state boards for which ever state you live in, she also MUST be able to speak english flawlessly and be able to prove this, also her original lic. must be able to be verified.

Her original education would have to be equivalent to a US one. She needs a verified and translated transcript,then she would need to pass an English fluency exam and then the state nursing exam. Of course she would have to have a visa that allows her to work in the first place.
