How would my aunt become a nurse in the United States

How would my aunt become a nurse in the United States?
My Aunt was a registered nurse in India and now wants to get a nursing job in the U.S What does she need to do? She has a nursing certificate from India, would that be enough to be a nurse in America? She has been living in the U.S for 7 years

Tell your aunt we have enough stinky hindus in this country! Have her go to canada

Your aunt needs to take the NCLEX (National Commission Licensure Exam) in the state where she chooses to practice her nursing career. Hence, when she passes then she could practice her nursing skills. Her certificate would help her land a job as a caregiver or a nursing aide at the most. I hope that helps. Better still let her inquire at the ANA or NCLEX of her respective state of origin because different states have different policies regarding licensing of nurses.
