   Definately traditional BSN is going to be easier. I already have B.S from U.S, so it's not as much of an obstacle as it would be for someone who just arrived in U.S.

   Not Michigan, but U of Minnesota. The tuition difference ends up being around 3~4 grands. I am not sure if I will get the scholarship at U of Minnesota. I think financially, and economically, it makes a lot of sense to go to Shenandoah. I am in my la...

   snvplayer replied to cymalice's topic in Immigration

   So, let me recap- In order to have a US hospital to sponsor your H1 visa, your chances are MUCH higher if you are a specialized BSN nurse. And the specialization MUST requires BSN degree. HOWEVER, there are hospitals (most likely in rural areas) or n...

    Thanks for the info. There is always a risk / chance that I wll have to return to my home country with any field of study. So the retrogression affects every H1 and GC applicant regardless of their home country? I guess my best bet with BSN is to get...
