To America as a Nurse

By Susan Kamau RN. MSN .Ed

So you want to join the many other nurses migrating to the United States of America. You have heard great things about being a nurse in America. Your concern should be; how much correct information do you have about the transition journey taken by foreign trained nurses, the challenges of job search, financial implication, the culture shock encountered both at work and the new society, advancing your education and giving back to the community.

This book is a compilation of stories of the experiences of different nurses during their transition to American nursing. These stories show the challenges and obstacles faced by the transitioning nurse, how they survived and finally made it to be a successful nurse in America. Indeed it is an eye opener for the foreign trained nurse, their families, host families, mentors, and advisors to foreign trained nurses.
