Italian Nurse going to work in the US ?

I'm a nurse.I was just wondering how easy it is to find nursing jobs in US, and what additional qualifications I would need to work over there. help please... Advice in general, costs of living, house prices, general income, communities, things like that!

Ciao Mobb, Apparently there is a great demand for nurses and professional in the health industry. If you came here most likely you would have a great opportunity to find a decent job. I don't know how you can go about obtaining your work permit though. You would be better off in a big city, as there is more demand for health care. You find yourself a "roommate" (compagno/a di stanza) and share the cost of living. I know there are websites where you can find reliable people to share the housing with. This might sound scary for you if you are not used to this idea but, believe me, is done here all the time. Good luck!

no

Nursing jobs are all over the place. You will need to be certified in the US. Depending on where you want to live the cost is living, house prices, and general income varies. You're best best is to google each state you are interested in, you can get all that info there. My best advise is to be able to speak English fluently.

tough question as I don't know about other parts of the country, just what I know in columbus, ohio.
I would imagine you would need a nursing license from an acredited school here.
House prices here are 15 % lower than the actual value of the house, so now is a good time to buy a house. I just bought one recently and you can get a great deal. Less than 100,000 $ you are usually talking about a small house (1000 sq ft or less) and not in a great neighborhood. 100,000 to 150,000 $ you can get into a bigger house and a nicer neighborhood. You can rent an apt for about 600 to 700 $ a month.
If you look at california or colorado, where the cost of living is quite high, a 1000 sq ft house in those places goes for 300,000 to 400,000 and beyond.
The general income for nurses here various because of the amount of overtime they can work, but I would think about 50,000 $

There are alot of nursing jobs here open, the hospitals are expanding exponentially. Mount carmel east is buying up all the land around them, expanding and more expanding.

Good Luck, and if you come to columbus ohio, look me up and I'll try to help you as much as I can.

When you come from Italy you will have to take a test to determine that you have the right skills to be a nurse here. That can be administered at the hospital you would like to work at, or a community/local college. All states also require you have a state license to work in that state as a nurse and in the medical profession, once again a test will be administered for that. Costs of living vary all over depending on states, in Nevada they barely pay tax on anything versus in IL. you may pay a lot of taxes. The same goes for housing prices, and typically anywhere in California and New York are highly expensive. The lowest priced homes are generally in IL, Ohio, Texas, and Oklahoma. The general income as a nurse can vary depending on what kind of nurse you are and what skills you have. Generally a Registered Nurse makes on average $75,000 a year, but then again it varies by state. You can find out which state pays the highest by going to this website www.bls.gov. That is the labor statistics website. -www.remax.com can give you general house pricing per state.
Good luck!
