How do I become a learning disabilities nurse in the usa?

The U.S. has the following nursing licenses: LPN/LVN: Licensed Practical Nurse/Licensed Vocational Nurse (requires vocational training) RN: Registered Nurse (requires a diploma in nursing; associates degree in nursing; or bachelor's degree in nursing) NP- Nurse Practitioner (requires Masters in Nursing or Doctorate in Nursing) Each state in the U.S., has a state Board of Nursing in all states. Each state Board of Nursing has its own rules and regulations. Each state, however, will have a section on foreign degree requirements. Your degree would have to be considered "equivalent" by the Board of Nursing for American nursing degrees. In the U.S. the college degrees that qualify individuals to sit for the national NCLEX-RN exam is (1) Associates degree in nursing (2) Bachelors degree in Nursing. In the U.S., nursing degrees are considered generalist degrees, which means basically that once an individual becomes licensed as an RN....they can work in different settings (i.e. schools, hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, prisons, etc).
