Hi Helen! The best thing for you to do is to inquire at the Supreme Council regarding your status. They will advise you on what to do. I think for nurses,at least 2 yrs. experience is needed, you have to take an exam in Prometrics, documents will be submitted at the Supreme Council and investigations on the authenticity of these docs will be done by Dataflow,you will also need an employer before they process your license.Good luck.
