Hi everyone!

So my cousin recently completed a bachelor’s degree in Australia, but she can’t pass the OET (english proficiency test for health professionals) to get the actual nurse practitioner license, so she wants to come to the US to get a master’s in nursing…does that make any sense? I really want to help her, but i have no knowledge whatsoever of the nursing programs here in the US. Will she be eligible to apply to master’s programs if she doesn’t have her actual license? Does anyone know about english proficiency tests/requirements in the US (California, in particular)? What’s the career outlook in the US for nurses currently? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
