Hello all,

 

I'm at a loss about where to start the journey to be a nurse here in the USA. This is our situation: My wife is an RN from the Phillipines. She was OFW when we got married. That was 5 years ago and now she is a U.S. Citizen. We have two kids who are close to school age now and she'd like to work. I work for two weeks then have two weeks off so we want to find short term travelling jobs to fit in my two weeks off. 

 

We're overwhelmed figuring out how to get started. We're in Colorado by the way. Is there an agency that we can use? Honestly; we simply don't even know how to begin so any and all information that others may have to share will be a huge help. 

 

Thank you

Every individual Sate Board of Nursing is the source for RN qualifications.  That's where I would start.

~~Hijack post split off to its own thread along with related reply. Thread also moved to Finding Work in America, from Work Visas - as the OP is not needing a work visa.~~
