I am a foreign born but graduated from nursing school here in the U.S. both PN and RN. I didn't find PN NCLEX easier than RN exam. RN is more delegation and prioritization but both exams still consist of basic nursing knowledge and skills (pathology ...
I have to tell you changing from F1 to H1B are pain in the neck. I had tried it in the past and none of the employers willing to do it for me. I talked about the one of the well known car company in the world. If I were you with all nursing experien...
You can do OPT after you finish your program which allow you to work for one year after graduation. But you can grant OPT once no matter you finish 10 degrees in the U.S. So use it wisely. Again being hired as a nurse on OPT might be different story....
I was F1 once. My counselor didn't allow to work outside campus at all unless I applied for. I remembered i had to pay $300 fee for one semester to work off campus which wasn't worth it. Maybe a volunteer work in hospital without pay. I believe y...
F1 to EB3 within a year is impossible. Some states won't issue you a license if you don't have a SSN. Some nursing schools do not allow F1 to be admitted to the school. Please check with NC BON and school you plan to attend.

Insurance companies? I heard they hire RN to evaluate claimed cases. Pharmaceutical rep? I know many who are RNs and now selling medications to doctors and hospital. Good money I heard.
If you both can come to the U.S. together, it is faster for you to petition her as a spouse here. However, it varies from state to state. We live in MI. Total process time after we got married was about 4 months from the day we submitted the paper wo...
