The path to becoming a registered nurse in the US (USRN) is filled with challenges. In order to even qualify, US employers require that you must be presently employed in a healthcare facility under a specialty occupation related to your field of study.
Find out how a staffing firm can help you secure your future job abroad, or the local job you need to begin with.
Focusing on your goal to work in the US is a good start. But an aspiring USRN like yourself must be prepared to go through multiple processes and complete a long list of requirements. This will take a considerable amount of time, relentless effort and dedication. Dealing with the lengthy application and immigration processes can definitely get stressful. It’s a tough journey with numerous obstacles along the way. And the reward at the end is your dream job. Once you do secure your employment, this career move will not only boost your personal and career growth, it can also benefit your family. Because you will also have earned the opportunity to migrate with them to the US.
In our previous article, we discussed how the global pandemic has exposed serious gaps in the US healthcare system. There are more open positions for healthcare professionals than there are qualified candidates who could fill them. While the process to get there might be difficult, becoming a registered nurse in the US means you will enjoy greater job security, higher earnings and excellent career advancement potential.
The specific requirements may vary depending on the employer and the state in which you aim to live and work in. But before you can even begin the application process, you will need to meet the basic criteria required of all nurses applying for employment in the US. These are:
1. You must have a degree from an accredited Registered Nursing program
2. You must have a current Registered Nursing license in your country
3. You must have at least two years of full-time work experience as a Registered Nurse in a healthcare facility
