Answer 1

no, only for nurses who would be in a supervisory role.

Answer 2

same as you was told before, nurse visas went away a LONG time ago and can honestly not see there being any shortage for many years to come.



No having a BS in Nursing will not do a dang thing for you getting a visa in the USA.



Not sure if you will make being a nurse as you seem to have trouble in basic comprehension.

Answer 3

These people are nuts. Yes you can still get a work visa as a nurse. You would need a student visa to go to school in the US. Once school is done you will have to move back home.Then you can apply for a Green Card. It will take several years.A bachelors will not get you a h1b visa. You need to have experience ina specialized area of nursing for that.

Answer 4

You don't get a work visa for wanting to be a nurse. You get a work visa for being a nurse. Unless you come from a developed nation, your degree won't count for a lot, as many undeveloped nations have odd ideas about training.



To study to be a nurse, you get a student visa, which means several years where you're not allowed to work off campus at all.

Answer 5

No nurse visas - abolished years ago. Furthermore, hospitals, etc, are laying off nurses by the dozens, so there are loads of US-citizen nurses looking for work - at every level, including BSNs and MSNs. There is NO shortage of US-citizen nurses, and a very severe shortage of jobs has developed since passage of Obummercare (ACA). You're not getting a job in US, not even with MSN. "Shortage of nurses" has become a myth - the market has changed dramatically!



Bachelor's degree is not a qualification for H1-b. Foreign student visas strictly prohibit working.

Answer 6

Does putting the cart before the horse sound familiar to you? YES... There is a shortage of trained nurses in the USA, and YES... Once you get the diploma in your hand, you can probably stay and work in this country, but you have to get the degree and the certification first.



Try to concentrate on one goal at a time and you'll be better off.

Answer 7

nurse visas in the US were stopped in 2006



POTUS decided home grown only

Answer 8

yes. nurses are in short supply here and employers have the ability to ask for a work visa for such skilled immigrants.



note that the employer must ask -- you do not directly apply.



many major hospitals engage in hiring foreign born nurses.

Answer 9

No they are not available any more. not since 2006.
