Not with your PR license.  You'll need a Florida RN license.

The best way to start is to have him or her find a school district in Ohio that will sponsor her, then he or she needs to apply for a work visa through the Russian federation, Most work visas are 1 year in length and people from Russia have a better chance at getting that visa if they are skilled such as teaching, but a sponsor is needed. I would suggest either you or him or her start contacting schools to see of they teach Russian, even trade schools or private employers who need that language to conduct business could help. Private citizens can sponsor but need an annual salary or income of $21.000 per year.\nIt's a long process and contacting your local congressman can also help a great deal

That isn't only regulated by state law.  It's a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) requirement. \n\n"Any non-U.S. citizen coming to the United States for employment as a health care worker (other than a physician) cannot be admitted unless he or she presents a certificate from either the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS) or a certificate of equal standing from an organization with equivalent credentials.

There are not many resources on the Web that gives information on medical staffing business. I suggest you check out the following resources:\n\nStaffingIndustry.com has several publications that you may need http://www.staffingindustry.com/publications/\nMedical Staffing Comprehensive Start-Up Manual http://www.semsea.com/html/med_staffing.html\nHealthcare Staffing and Budgeting: Practical Management Tools (Hardcover) by Roey Kirk http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0871897849/powerhomebizguid\n\nThere is a Healthcare Staffing Summit that you may want to attend:\nhttp://www.staffingindustry.com/healthstaff_summit/\n\nI suggest you also look at your competitors and see how they are organizing their business and presenting their services:\n\nhttp://www.interimhealthcare.com/\nhttp://www.intelistaf.com/\n\nAs for permits and licenses, check your county office or go to your Secretary of State's website\n\nIf you are considering recruiting nurses from a foreign country such as the Philippines or other countries into the USA, consider the following:\n\n1. Know the immigration laws pertaining to foreign employment inside out - from H1B option to employment labor certification process. The nurses you recruit from abroad should be able to get the proper work permits and documentation to work in hospitals. Some hospitals may be willing to hire only those who have the right papers, while others may be willing to share part of the burden by sponsoring these nurses.\n\n2. Know the tests and certifications required in hiring foreign nurses. This includes passing the board exams required by states to practice nursing, as well as english language (TOEFL) tests. You need to think of how you want to help potential recruits with regards to getting their exams and certifications passed. Will your foreign branch help make sure that the recruits pass their TOEFLs for example? To what extent will you help your recruits pass their exams?\n\n3. Actual foreign recruitment. Will you establish a formal recruitment agency in the foreign country, or will you do it through conduits? How will you oversee the recruitment process making sure that your nurses pass even their TOEFL exams? How often will you travel to your source country?\n\n4. Marketing to hospitals. There is a shortage of nurses in the US, but you also have to be cognizant of the sensitivities of hiring foreign labor (see again the ethics question article). How are you going to tap hospitals and ask them to trust you to supply their nurses recruitment needs?\n\nI found an article from the Sinai Hospital in Maryland about their experience in foreign nurses recruitment that's an interesting read. Check out "Sinai Hospital and Foreign Nurse Recruitment: Getting Beyond “Stealing” Nurses" at http://www.mdhospitals.org/mha/Ideas_in_Action/May2003/sinai.hospital.htm

You need to know which state are you planning to practice pharmacy in the United States.\nI worked in the pharmacy for almost 3 years in California.  In the worst case scenario, you are most likely would have to take the four years of pharmacy, along with the exams.  In the best possible scenario, which I doubt would happen, you would have to take the exams and pass it.\nHere are the pharmacy contact for California only that you can call and ask for the information directly.  Each state vary the requirements.\n\nUniversity of California, San Francisco- (415) 476-2733\nUniversity of California, San Diego- (856) 822-4265\nWestern Health Sciences, Pomona (909) 469-5336\nUniversity of the Pacific, Stockton  (209) 946-2211

Google search this: Board of Registered Nursing California.\n\nGo to that site.\n\nPeruse through that site and look for licensure verification in all states. Be creative in your search because I don't know what the exact title is. I've done this before. I was looking for a traveling nurse I hooked up with in San Diego. I'm an RN also.\n\nKeep in mind, they only give you first and last name and license number. I have no idea what you're going to do with that info...you still can't find her with info given.

Liscensure is not reciprocal. However you should be able to get liscensed in any state with proper and accreditted credentials. You'll probably need specific grade endorsements as well.
