Is it impossible to apply for a H1B visa if you are a foreign us trained student with an ADN? that would make the ADN program pretty useless..

You need to have a Bachelors in a specialized field and have several years experience. It doesn't necessairly be in nursing because there are lots of people who are here on the H1b visa. But for nurses it's a minimum of BSN with several years experience in as a nurse who specialized.

Default Re: H1b Visa for nurses under FY 2010
Hello. I am a U.S. graduate nurse with two and a half years experiences.

I have BSN and OCN. Oncolgy is my favorite part. I have chemo experiences.
I came to the U.S. with F-1. I am on H1C status now.
My H1C is expired on June, 2011.

I am looking for H1B hospital.

I am trying to apply to the outpatient chemo nurse position at the university hospital.

I had a year inpatient-oncology nursing experience at the university hospital and a year and a half at the community magnet hospital.

If the position requires BSN,Chemo Certification,CPR(I have BLS and ACLS.) and prefers OCN, is it possible to get H1B visa?


Thanks.

Thanks.
The only relevant thing you posted is that the position requires BSN. There is no such thing as a "H1B hospital". Most big hospitals have H1B staff, but as you have read, it doesn't matter if the nurse has a BSN, only if the position mandates that a bachelor degree is the minimum requirement. Chemo certification, ACLS, OCN do not matter because they do not require the nurse to have a bachelor degree.

If you can find a position that the PD states the encumbent must have a BSN minimum, then it meets H1B requirements. Whether YOU meet the specialist requirements is up to the consulate officer at interview.
