Why work in the United States ?
Besides the obvious incentive of higher salaries,
working in the United States can be a big boost to your
nursing career. Unlike in Mexico and most other
countries around the world, nurses in the United States
have a much higher level of decision making authority
over patient care. Nurses in the United States are
not simply assistants of physicians but play a much more
vital role in the healthcare system.
If you are looking for a career opportunity that let's
you put your talent and abilities to full use while
advancing your knowledge and skills as a nurse a career
in the United States may be a very rewarding step for
you.

hospital which has a program in place to properly train
and integrate Mexican nurses into the US hospital system
as well as opportunities for continuous education.

TN Visa

NAFTA
professional (TN-2) visa.
Your Mexican education has to be equivalent to the
education of a Registered Nurse (RN) in the United
States to qualify for the TN-2 visa.
Educational Requirements
Generally
speaking,
most
nurses who were educated in Mexico who have obtained a
degree of

will qualify as
a first level
Registered Nurse (RN) in the United States.
Nurses who have obtained a Tecnico
Profesional degree in nursing may or may not qualify as
a
first level Registered Nurse (RN) in the United States.
Once your
education has been evaluated and it is equivalent to a
Registered nurse in the United States you can apply for
a nursing license in Texas. You also have to pass
an English test to apply for the license.

NCLEX-RN®
Exam Preparation
The
NCLEX-RN® is the
national exam which has to be taken by all nurses who want to work in
the United States, including nurses educated in the United States.
Based on
the experience of many international nurses we have worked with we can
recommend various options to help you prepare for the NCLEX-RN test.
How to obtain a nursing license in Texas
Once you
have decided that you want to work as a nurse in the United States we
will help you to obtain the necessary documents to work in the US.
Following is a brief overview of the process to obtain
the required credentials to be able to work as a nurse in the US.
We recommend
that you initially obtain a nursing license in the state of Texas.
If you have a nursing license in Texas you can obtain a nursing license
by endorsement in several other states.
The first step is to
evaluate your foreign
nursing degree
to determine if it is equivalent to a degree obtained in
the United States. In most states (including the
State of Texas), this will be done by organization
such as
CGFNS
International
or ERES.
This process will take 6 to 8 weeks.
The results of this evaluation
will be sent to the
Texas Board of Nursing.
Based on these results, the board will decide if your degree is
equivalent to the US nursing degree.
If it is, you can apply for a
Texas state
nursing license
and take the
NCLEX®-RN exam.
This is a comprehensive exam to test your knowledge of
nursing. The same test has to be taken by all US
nurses. The
NCLEX®-RN exam
is offered in Mexico City as well as many cities in the
United States including San Antonio, Texas. Before you apply
for the state nursing license you also need to pass an
TOEFL English test.
Once you pass the
NCLEX®-RN exam
and
a criminal background check, you will be issued a
state
nursing license.
This process should take 5
to 6 weeks.
The
last part of the credentialing process is to obtain what is called a
VisaScreen™ certificate.
This will take 7 to 9 weeks.
Once you have obtained
the
VisaScreen™ certificate we will assist you in finding
employment in reputable hospitals in Texas, other US states or possibly
even other countries.
