If you’re an AHPRA-registered nurse in Australia looking to move to the USA, the first step is to choose a State Board of Nursing (BON), as each U.S. state has its own licensing requirements. You will need to apply for license endorsement on the selected state’s BON website.
Part of the process includes verifying your Australian registration and credentials, which may involve a credential evaluation by CGFNS to ensure your education and experience meet U.S. standards. Some states might also request proof of English proficiency, depending on where your education was completed. Once these steps are completed and approved, youll receive your U.S. RN license through endorsement.
At NCLEX Center, we simplify the endorsement process for nurses transferring between the USA, Australia, and Canada. From document preparation to state-specific guidance, we help you complete each step accurately and efficiently, so you can focus on your nursing career abroad.
