HARRISBURG (KDKA) - Becoming a nurse in Pennsylvania is now easier.

Governor Tom Wolf signed a bill amending the current professional nursing law.

The amendment will now allow people who graduated from a nursing or nutrition program in another country but didn't get a license to take Pennsylvania's certification exam.

They will qualify so long as the training from outside the country meets the state's educational requirements.
