Top 9 US States That Don't Require an English Proficiency Exam or Social Security Number
Moving to the United States to start your nursing career is a promising endeavor. With the country requiring a lot of nurses and opening its doors to international nurses like you, the prospect of forwarding your nursing career in any of the country’s 50 states sounds like a dream come true. But before you attain this dream, there are still some hurdles to surpass. Passing the NCLEX, choosing which state of living in, and the inevitable job search are just a few items on your list to become part of a community of nursing professionals in the US right now. If there were only a few steps you could skip, your journey to the Land of Opportunities would be a lot faster, and that’s a few boxes on your list you don’t have to tick.
Fortunately, there are states in the US that will no longer require you to complete at least one of these two steps: getting a Social Security Number or showing English proficiency. Opting for any of the states mentioned in this post won’t rob you of the opportunity to enjoy life in the United States while pursuing your passion for being a registered nurse. Let’s delve into these nine states that are great frontiers for the nursing profession but may give you less of a harder time getting a nursing license.

What is a Social Security Number?
A social security number, or SSN, is needed for anyone who wishes to work in the US. It is a unique identifier that will report your wages to the United States government and give you social security benefits , such as retirement or disability. Luckily, many states do not require an SSN to take the NCLEX exam, as you will read about later on. The reason for this is quite simple: some states don’t see it necessary for licensure test takers to get an SSN, or at least for now, while they have not yet passed the test. Another reason for this is that denying anyone access to social security benefits can be seen as discrimination. Various laws support equality to the right of social security , which should be given whether one has an SSN or not.
However, note that an SSN does more than just act as a unique identifier. Government numbers like the SSN are used to track down your personal records, and you may still be required to get an SSN once you start working as a registered nurse.
Why is English proficiency a requirement to work as a US nurse?
Foreign nurses must show passing scores for an English proficiency exam, as English is the main vernacular of the country. However, there are exemptions to this rule. For example, Canadian nurses (except in Quebec) who wish to enter the US to do nursing might no longer be required to submit passing scores in IELTS or TOEFL. This is because their nursing education was delivered using the English language. For immigrants from English-speaking countries like Australia and Great Britain, that’s one less requirement to take the NCLEX.

What States Don’t Require An English Proficiency Exam Or Social Security Number For Nurses?
Each state has its State Board of Nursing that may have licensure requirements unique from others. However, choosing a state that won’t require you to have an SSN or achieve a certain English proficiency score may free you up more time and lessen the pressure of getting a slot in any US hospital. We hope that this short list of US states can aid you in prepping to be an immigrant nurse practitioner:
- Montana . Named recently as the eighth best state to be a nurse in , the Treasure State is proud to take good care of its nurses, with them proclaiming a Nurses’ Week to celebrate the contributions of their beloved nurse practitioners. To be part of this state-wide care for nurses, you don’t need an SSN or to show English proficiency. Simply take the NCLEX and other requirements as stipulated by the state.
- South Dakota . This is another state that does not require an SSN or passing an English international test. What’s enticing about working in South Dakota is the cost of living, sitting at 4% lower than the national average . Budgeting expenses might not be complex here.
- Connecticut . Nurse.org names nursing in Connecticut as a high-paying job , and you are surrounded by exemplary schools in case you want to pursue further studies as a registered nurse. Thus, advancing your nursing career through studies might be a good idea if you are in Connecticut.
- New York . The Empire State is a must-go destination for every travel nurse , as it sits on the border of Canada, the Atlantic Ocean, and six other states. With the SSN and English proficiency requirements waived to get a license in New York, you might be packing your bags often to explore what’s out there while being a nurse.
- Northern Mariana Islands . Lush greens, exciting beaches, and a generally safe and quiet destination. But wait, this island is not your next vacation spot . It is a prospective living place for aspiring immigrant nurses that also won’t require English proficiency or an SSN. If you are more attuned to rural living, consider this tropical archipelago.
- Missouri . This is a promising state to work in. Nursing is emotionally and psychologically rewarding here, with a salary 41% higher than the national average, at $9,309 per month. While English proficiency may need to be proven (unless you are from the countries listed here ), you may use your passport number in place of an SSN when applying for the NCLEX.
- Indiana . The Hoosier State boasts of career diversity for nurses . You can be exposed to various disciplines, from pediatrics to gerontology. Moreover, Indiana is a compact state . All 40 compact states agree that any nurse licensed in one of these states can practice in any of the 40. If you have been practicing in one of the other compact states and wish to see a change in scenery, consider Indiana in your choices.
- Virginia . With a strong economy, low crime rates, and fantastic healthcare options , moving to Virginia may be one of the best decisions of your life. When it comes to becoming a nurse here, if your nursing program is taught in English , there is no need to show proof of English proficiency. If you don’t have an SSN , simply contact the Virginia Nursing Board before applying. Additionally, Virginia is also a compact state.
- Kentucky . Are you the outdoorsy kind or one that enjoys going out and about in your free time? The Bluegrass State is calling you . Additionally, when it comes to beginning your nursing career, Kentucky is a viable option. Applicants taught in English need not prove proficiency , and those with no SSN yet may ask help from the Kentucky Board of Nurses . In place of SSN, you will receive a temporary ID .

Nursing Jobs in USA without NCLEX
In view of the many inquiries, we have been getting on how to get Nursing Jobs in the US. Our team has compiled a list of Nursing Jobs in USA without NCLEX.
Our list is based on the search queries bordering on Jobs that take Nurses without Licenses and Nursing Jobs in the USA for foreigners.
A good number of vacancies can be applied for foreigners without the need to pass the NCLEX exams or get an NCLEX licensing.
We shall also detail other key areas that deal with finding Nursing Jobs in the United States.
What is NCLEX?
The National Council Licensure Exam or NCLEX-RN is a licensing exam that determines your eligibility to work as an entry-level Nurse in the United States.
They deploy more critical thinking and analysis in the exams than the regular licensing exam.
NCLEX is among the licenses you need to become an entry-level nurse. But, with our update today we can show you some open vacancies in the US that don’t require an NCLEX exam.
With the help of our research associates and industry experts, we were able to enlist some websites and platforms where you can get a Nursing Job in the States without NCLEX.
A good number of them will require you to have some nursing licenses and educational background but not necessarily an NCLEX licensure.

How to Get a Nursing Job in the USA
Nursing is currently one of the most lucrative jobs in the United States. Though it can be quite demanding the government compensates Nurses enough for their time and service to the nation.
If you are an immigrant coming for the first time to the states and looking at starting off as a nurse.
There are a couple of entry nursing programs available for you in addition to some of the Nursing Jobs without NCLEX.
Nonetheless, with the help of our research associates and industry experts, we have listed how best to get a Nursing Job in the US with or without NCLEX.
Meet the Educational Requirements:
Just like many other countries, for you to be legally permitted to work as a nurse in the United States, you must meet some basic educational requirements.
Licenses you got outside the US are valid but you will need to prove that you are not just parading licenses but also have the skill and knowledge of the profession.
You will need an Associate degree in Nursing or a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in addition to being a Registered Nurse.
The United States does not accept Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVN) as valid qualifications.
Complete a Foreign Educated Nurses (FEN) Course:
In addition to having an AND (Associate Nursing Degree) or B.sc in Nursing, a good number of the states in the United States will also require you to complete a Foreign Educated Nurses program. This is to certify your ability to work in the best standards peculiar to that state.
The course is a 120 hours classroom and 120 hours clinical practical lessons. The interesting part is that you might secure a nursing job in the USA without NCLEX with this certificate.
Pass the Proficiency Test for the English Language
Similar to other international exams for a study in the US, one needs to also sit and pass IELTS/TOEFL test to determine how effective he or she can communicate in the English Language.
This actually varies based on the country of origin. Countries like Canada, the UK, New Zealand, Australia, and Ireland are among those that are exempted from writing an IELTS/TOEFL.
Write and Pass the NCLEX-RN Examination
Having met all the previous requirements, applicants will have to sit and pass the NCLEX-RN exam in the United States. Registration for the exam is $200 in addition to other foreign fees in the country. The exam can be registered with NCLEX test preparatory platforms in the US.
Obtain the CGFNS or have other Recognized Organizations evaluate your Credentials
The Commission on Graduates of Foreign NursingSchools (CGFNS) is an organization established by the US government to certify the readiness of foreign applicants who wants to take NCLEX exam. The core mission of the commission is to ensure sound health care for Americans and stop the exploitation of foreign nursing graduates in America.
They have three main credentialing reports.
- Credentials Evaluation Service Professionals report
- CGFNs Certification Program
- 3 Visa Credentials Assessment.
Just like we stated earlier, there are some nursing jobs in the US without NCLEX where you might not be necessarily required to bring an NCLEX license.
However, for the sake of this content, we will go ahead to highlight in detail three main credentialing reports in CGFN.
Credentials Evaluation Service Professionals Report
The report provides some statutory information for the state board of Nursing with quite a good number of states accepting it.
- Proficiency in English
- Secondary School Documents.
- Certificates of license from the home country in addition to Nursing education documents from your home country.
CGFN Certification Program
The certification shares similarities with the one mentioned earlier. It requires a $445 fee to register. CGFN like we said earlier, is the qualification exam that determines how suitable one is to take care of patients in America.
The exam is conducted three times a year in over 40 centers across the globe.
Visa Credentials Assessment
Visa credentials assessment is almost the same with CGFN. Just that this is the phase where the individual qualifies for a Work Visa upon successful completion of NCLEX.
It costs $540 fee to enroll in for Visa Credentials Assessment. A couple of other credentialing services can be cheaper and also accepted by the United States Board of Nursing.
However, it remains most imperative you consult with State Board before you make a decision on that.
Find a Nursing Sponsorship or Recruiting Agency based in the US
Experts and industry top analysts always recommend foreign nurses identify with recruiting agencies than engaging directly with hospitals. Engaging the services of the agencies brightens your chances more.
They assist in ensuring the paperwork and all needed are in place for the individual while preparing the Job.
Obtain your work or Nursing employment Visa
There are different types of visas with different attributes to them. Each of them has a feature peculiar to it.
Before you get a nursing job in the USA without NCLEX or even with NCLEX you must have obtained either of these Visas.
Mexican and Canadian Nurses – TN Visa
It is peculiar to Mexican and Canadian citizens. Mexican and Canadian Nurses can work in the US with a TN Visa.
However, you must have obtained a license in your home country and also passed the NCLEX exam before you can be accepted to practice in the United States.
HI-1B Temporary Work Visa
If you have a 4-year degree in Nursing, you can apply for a HI-1B temporary visa. After you have obtained your temporary visa you can proceed to get a green card once stateside.
It is equally important you know that there is a limited number of temporary work visas for nurses desiring to work in hospitals especially those in underserved regions.
Permanent Work Visa
This is actually the most sought-after and is targeted at those looking at relocating permanently to the United States.
The application will have to be filled and stamped in your home country before you can be allowed a permanent stay in America.
With a permanent work visa, it tends to be even easier to find a nursing job in America without NCLEX.
Like we said earlier, your nursing employment visa to the United States is best done with reputable agencies and recruiting firms.
Find a Registered Nursing Job in America
Career experts advise nurses, especially those migrating to the US for the first time to conduct targeted searches.
If you are yet to obtain an NCLEX license, you can narrow your search to ‘nursing jobs in the US without NCLEX’ or if you are a specialist in cardiology nursing, you can equally narrow your search to cardiology nursing jobs in the US.
The purpose is to make it more specific and channel your search to your area of interest or specialization. You can visit Nurse.org and apply for the many vacancies for foreign nurses in the United States.
Non-Eligible Nurses for Nursing Jobs in the United States
We have discussed extensively, how to work and get a nursing job in USA without NCLEX as well as how to get an NCLEX license and obtain a nursing job in the States. However, not all foreign-educated nurses can work in the United States.
The following are not eligible to work in the US as Nurses.
- Nurses with experience of fewer than 2 years.
- Individuals with a proven criminal background.
- Nurses without a 4-year nursing degree.
- Nurses without sponsorship from a recognized and reputable nursing agency.
All the states in the United States do not work with the same regulatory standards when it comes to nursing jobs.
Nonetheless, the need for a visa applies to all nurses seeking to work in the United States. On the other hand, non-NCLEX nursing jobs in the USA can be seen in any clinic.
Ensure you at least have a sound background in nursing while applying.
When you have obtained a job and started working. We advise you to endeavor to register and obtain an NCLEX license because without it you will not go far in your nursing career in the USA.

After meeting the initial education requirements, some foreign-educated nurses must take and pass the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) , the Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) . This will vary depending on the country of origin and results are sent directly to the state nursing board.
Nurses who went to nursing school in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada (except Quebec), or Ireland are exempt as are those whose spoken language in nursing school was English and/or the nursing school textbooks were written in English.
It’s important to note that even if you speak English fluently, but your nursing program was held in another language, you will still be required to take an English competency test. There are very few test-opt options available and with increasing wait times, it is simply easier to take the exam and pass versus trying to petition the board for an exemption.
Step 4. Pass the NCLEX-RN Examination
After ensuring you meet the education and language requirements it’s time to apply for the NCLEX in the state of intended employment. Registration with Pearson Vue is required and costs $200 plus additional foreign fees.
According to the webpage, NCLEX examinations are currently administered in Australia, Canada, England, China, France, Israel, South Africa, Spain, Turkey, the United Kingdom, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Mexico, Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Taiwan.
Step 5. Have the CGFNS or Another Credentialing Organization Evaluate Your Credentials
The Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS) is a company that is employed by State Boards of Nursing to ensure that applicants meet the basic requirements and are fit to take the NCLEX.
Established in 1977 after a thorough investigation of the immigration of foreign-born and educated registered nurses, the U.S. Department of State and Labor developed the Commission with a dual purpose: to ensure safe patient care to Americans and to help prevent the exploitation of graduates from foreign nursing schools who are employed in the United States to practice.
This company specifically will go through all nursing school transcripts and education history from your home country. While this company is the most popular and most well-known - it is expensive and each state requires different levels of credentialing.
There are three main credentialing reports:
Credentials Evaluation Service Professional Report
Cgfns certification program.
- Visa Credentials Assessment
This report is less involved and cheaper than the Certificate Program or VisaScreen. It provides the basic information for the State Board of Nursing and only a handful of states accept this.
Below are the requirements you’ll need to meet:
- English Requirement
- Secondary School Documents
- Licensure Documents from your Home Country
- Nursing Education Documents from your Home Country
This evaluation is the same as above but requires the applicant to take the CGFNS Qualifying Exam.
Here are some specifics:
- Everything in a Credentials Evaluation Service Professional Report
- CGFNS Qualifying Exam
The CGFNS Qualifying Exam helps states determine if foreign-educated nurses are well suited to care for patients in America. According to the CGFNS web page, individuals must possess a wide variety of nursing knowledge.
Applicants are required to have a minimum number of classroom and clinical hours in required fields such as pediatric nursing, psychiatric nursing, neonatal nursing , and adult medical/ surgical nursing .
The examination is held three times a year at over 40 testing centers across the globe. Individuals may travel to other countries, if needed, in order to take the exam.
VisaScreen: Visa Credentials Assessment
The same requirements as the CGFNS Certification Program but will qualify the individual for a Work Visa after successful completion of the NCLEX.
You’ll also need to pay a $540 fee.
Other credentialing services could potentially be cheaper and still accepted by the State Boards of Nursing. It is important to check with the State Board before using a different credential service. Alternatives to CGFNS include:
- International Education Research Foundation
- Educational Records Evaluation Service
Step 6: Find a Nursing Recruiting Agency or US-Based Employer
The next step is to obtain an employment visa. There are several options for these nurses but nurses must have sponsorship from a staffing agency. It is easier for foreign nurses to work with an independent staffing recruiter and agency than directly with a hospital.
Agencies are well versed in helping nurses work in the U.S. and have systems in place in order to ensure all information and paperwork is completed accurately.
Agencies are also invested in ensuring that all documentation is properly filled and finding the best nursing position to protect your interests and that fits your nursing abilities.
Step 7. Obtain Your Nursing Employment Visa or “Work Visa”
Types of work visas for nurses, mexican and canadian nurses - tn visa.
Mexican and Canadian nurses may work in the United States with a special TN visa if the individual has an offer of employment, a license to practice in their home country, and pass the NCLEX and state licensure requirements.
H-1B Temporary Work Visa
Nurses who hold a four-year degree and fulfill a specialized nursing role may qualify for an H-1B temporary work visa and then apply for a green card once stateside. These specialized roles include critical care nurses, emergency room nurses, and/or cardiology nurses.
It is important to note that there is a very limited number of H-1C visas available to nurses who want to work in very specific hospitals in underserved communities.
An EB-3 visa is also commonly referred to as a green card or permanent residency visa. To be eligible for this type of visa, you must have two years of education from an accredited institution and have a license to work in the country where you received your education.
This visa allows nurses to work in the U.S. at a hospital or other medical facility for ten years. Additionally, with this visa, nurses can bring their spouses and children under 21 to the United States. Of note, the EB-3 visa does not require nurses to have a job offer before they come to the United States.
Step 8. Find a Registered Nursing Job in the US
Many career experts advise nurses to conduct targeted job searches through job boards specific to their area of expertise. You can start by checking out the available positions on the nurse.org job board . If there is a particular hospital you’re interested in, you may want to look on their site to see if they have any openings.
Can I Work in the U.S. as an LPN From Another Country?
Many LPNs from foreign countries want to know if they can practice in the U.S. Unfortunately, U.S. work visas are only issued to foreign RNs and APRNs. Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) are not eligible for work visas in the U.S.
According to CGFNS International , a non-profit organization that helps foreign-educated healthcare professionals live and work in their country of choice, only nurses with a first-level degree or RN credentials (as defined by the International Council of Nurses ) have nursing license transferability in the US. Per CGFNS, at this time, practical and vocational nurses are unfortunately ineligible for licensure in the U.S.
CGFNS reports that the minimum requirements needed to work in the U.S. as a nurse are graduation from an accredited RN program, an unencumbered RN licensure, and two years of working experience in the profession.
Foreign Educated LPN Requirements by State
Some US state nursing websites have varying degrees of information on how LPNs can obtain work if they are licensed in a foreign country and living in the U.S. with a non-work visa . Unfortunately, much of the information is unclear.
The New York State Education Department (NYSED) website states there is an option for obtaining licensure as a foreign-trained LPN in New York, however, the Nursing Board Office at the New York State Education Department was unable to confirm that, and instead advised LPNs to see the requirements to apply for a NYS license and to take the NCLEX via email message.
Per the NYSED website , these are the instructions for applying for licensure as an LPN who graduated from a nursing school in a foreign country (outside of the U.S. and U.S. territories).
STEP 1: Complete New York State’s infection control coursework requirement.
You can find an NYSED-approved infection control course here .
STEP 2: Submit an online application for LPN licensure.
There is also a limited permit application option for those who have not taken the NLCEX-PN.
STEP 3: Have your foreign nursing credentials verified.
There are two options:
Arrange to have the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS) verify your nursing education credentials to the NYSED using CGFNS’ Credential Verification Service for New York State. You must also arrange for NYSED to receive verification of your nursing license from the licensing authority that issued it using a Verification of Foreign Professional Licensure/Certification form.
You must arrange to have your credentials verified by your foreign nursing school using a Certification of Professional Education form .
New Hampshire provides information specifically for foreign educated nurses in Quebec and other non-Candian provinces. Individuals will need to submit the following forms to the New Hampshire Board of Nursing to be eligible for endorsement.
- Application for Licensure by Endorsement
- Declaration of Primary State of Residence
- Notarized Criminal Record Release Authorization and completed fingerprint card along with any required fee
- Request for RN/LPN Verification of Original License
- A minimum of 400 hours of active practice in the 4 years immediately prior to submitting the application
Provide verification of 30 contact hours of continuing education in the past two years. One hour of learning equals one contact hour.
STEP 4: Pass the NCLEX if you haven’t already.
If you haven’t passed NCLEX-PN, you must register to take the NCLEX-PN with Pearson VUE .
The California Department of Consumer Affairs website California.gov offers applications for vocational nurse licensure by endorsement for foreign-educated LPNs. However, eligibility appears to be for LVNs with Special Immigrant Visas or those who are refugees and asylum seekers.
Contact your state’s individual nursing board for more information on foreign-educated LPN work if you are a foreign-educated LVN in the US with a non-work visa.
Nurses NOT Eligible To Work In The United States
Unfortunately, not all foreign-educated nurses are eligible to work in the United States. These include but are not limited to:
- Nurses with less than two years of experience
- Nurses lacking a four-year nursing degree (state dependent)
- Individuals who have committed a crime
- Nurses who lack sponsorship from a reputable nursing agency
Nurses without a visa
Next Steps for Nurses Who Want to Work in the U.S.
Due to ever-changing immigration laws, it is important for potential nurse immigrants to speak directly to staffing agencies or immigration lawyers to ensure all laws are followed. Most foreign-educated nurses work closely for several years prior to working in the United States as a registered nurse.
Those seeking additional information regarding specific immigration laws should search the U.S. Department of Homeland Services and U.S. Department of Labor .

Joey Giron Dedel
Me and my family would like to express our sincere appreciation for Connectics USA’s service to us as one of their clients. This is going to be sort of emotional but when something’s helped you achieve a lifetime dream, you don’t hold back on thanking the people who helped you get where you are (still a fair bit to go but at least, we are in Fargo now!). I had actually started with a different agency in trying to get me and my family into that “American dream”. Unfortunately, it took me a little time to pass the NCLEX that lead to that agency to drop our case because it was taking too much time. So then I found Connetics USA. I’d like to think it was a birthday gift that I was with them when I finally passed the NCLEX. The road still wasn’t an easy one since I had to take IELTS a couple of times—even more than the NCLEX, before I passed it. The whole process was on hold because it was one of the requirements before we could proceed. Only this time, I was in better hands and Connetics USA really made sure we were going to get to where they promised to bring us. Apart from the whole Connetics USA team who’s been all patient and kind and accommodating to any kind of questions we had, there were 4 specific people who’ve made a great impact in our journey from the Philippines to the US. and I especially can’t leave them out in this thank you note. Ms. Jocelyn Butron our Case Specialist – She’s been guiding us since the start. From paper processing, to guiding us on the need to knows and requirements in our embassy interview. It was a tedious process but she’s not missed to extend a hand all the way. Ms. Indra Abbas our Onboarding Specialist – I know it is her job to help us get through the whole immigrant’s checklist but there were times (a couple and I could go on specifics but I don’t want to make this a 5-pager) she’d go the extra mile to ensure we got to where we need to be safely and we had everything we needed. Ms. Laurie Tupper our Concierge – Who welcomed us warmly and toured us around so we’d know the whats and wheres. This proved to be very helpful as we realized our move was harder than we thought it to be. The culture’s different, the way they do things here, the groceries, the how tos of the temporary apartment – she’s been so patient with all the queries. Everyone mentioned above (and others we worked with on Connetics USA) has great work ethic. They are very responsible and reliable, and their willingness to flex is much appreciated by me and my family. They made sure we were heavily equipped before they let us on our own. Actually, even when we’re now settled in, Indra and Laurie still reaches out to check on us. Which is not something you can say about all companies. Ever since we signed our contract, things have progressed waaay faster than we anticipated and I mean that in a good way. You guys in Connetics USA have provided the highest quality support every family needs on their migration journey and you are quick to resolve any issues that may arise. We really could not have done any of all this without you! Thank you for a favorable first few months of this journey, and we hope you never stop helping families get to their American dreams! Of course, none of this would be possible without Ms. Tanya freedman, CEO of Connetics USA. I can’t sing Connetics USA team praises high enough, really. Cheers to more success stories!🥂 ...
