That's tricky. I would try to do volunteer work if I were you so that you could give yourself experience on the way to landing a full-time job. I think that'd also help with learning how things work in the US healthcare system as well

Contact your state's rn board and request the paperwork. You will have to obtain your transcript of your education from your school and have your school send it to the board directly. Once the board has your original transcript they will direct you what to do next.

Have you tried looking into a Nurse Residency most large academic hospitals have them. They are typically for new grads or someone that has been out of the field for a while but I think your situation would apply too. The one at the hospital I work at is 12 months they do half in the classroom learning all the skills and rules and regs ect and the other half on the floor assigned to a floor nurse.

Try to keep your head up and stay encouraged. Just keep applying to places, and eventually you will be blessed with an opportunity. Don’t give up. It always takes time to get a job as a new nurse without experience. Yet, believe me, there are many jobs out here. Just keep applying.
