I think you would have to take a test , to so show that you know the material you need to be a nurse.
2 :
CGFNS, TOEFL(including TSE--test of spoken English), NCLEX-RN. You'll need to have your academic qualifications assessed to make sure they are up to par with US qualifications, hence CGFNS. YOu'll need to prove your competency of the English language via TOEFL and TSE. Afterwards, you will need to sit for the NCLEX-RN exam in any of the States, if you want to be recognized as a Registered Nurse. Once you are a RN, then it will be easy to get sponsors for a H1B or H1C work visa or sponsorship for permanent residency(green-card) because there is a huge shortage of RNs in the USA.
