| Posted almost 6 years ago Your local board of nursing is always a great place to start. Here's the link to the TX BON: http://www.bne.state.tx.us/index.html I would also suggest contacting potential employers (nursing homes, hospitals, etc.) and searching our job postings in the CAREERS section. Because of the shortage, a lot of employers will help you through the process if it means you will work for them. |

| Posted almost 6 years ago You can go through a recruiter, they can set you up to be able to write the LPN-NCLEX exam...or whatever exam the US LPNs need for licensure, you'll have to show proof of your LPN courses (transcript)... I have 2 friends who are RNs and they did it last year. |
