Hi. I'm a senior studying Nursing, in foriegn country.
I'll be graduating the college this winter.
The problem is, I don't want to work as a RN, but want to study more.
Will the graduate school allows me to join thier course, even I don't have any job experience?
Is there any friends around you who enter graduate school right after the under-graduate course?:heartbeat

It depends on the graduate program you are interested in. Some programs require experience like CRNA, but some programs don't. You need to do some research.
Thanks so much about your reply.
I should work for a while before applying to the graduate school ^^

Here in the US, those attending school on a student visa are required to be fulltime students every semester. You are also not permitted to work.
While some nursing graduate programs are not grounded in clinical practice (administration, informatics, some programs in public health nursing, etc), many other graduate specialty programs are based on clinical practice. These graduate programs usually have prior work experience requirements -- especially for fulltime students.
