This is a definitive guide to nursing and health care in the United States for nurses interested in immigrating to this country, foreign nurses who are already here, and nurses interested in coming to the US to study. It draws upon the expertise and reputation of the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools and will address a variety of topics related to living in the US, nursing practice and the health care system in this country, the process for entry into the US and its workforce, employment issues, Foreign Educated Nurses rights and obligations, as well as nursing education, communications, and resources in the US and internationally. The book will be written in English, reflecting a 7th grade level, as all nurses immigrating to the US must speak and read English at this level.
