Re: Foreign Trained - RN to MSN programs?
I'm confused. You passed NCLEX, so your degree *is* suitable for the BON that you're applying through? I assume otherwise they would not have given you an ATT....?
And now you want to look at a student visa to do a masters degree in the US? Or are you talk about in Australia? Be aware that you did a bachelor degree - immigration and licensure and educational institutions all have different rules.
I did my BN in Australia and it was considered equivalent to the US by CGFNS and the BON (but I did it eons ago..). I am working in the US fulltime and attending uni part time for a masters in nursing (acute care nurse practitioner). I provided transcripts to the university, but there was never any doubt that I was starting from the basis of a bachelor degree.
If you can clarify what your position is and what you want to do, I might be able to give more info.
