Check out the international forum, there is a bunch of information there on moving here from other countries to work

Have moved your thread to the International Forum since it is more specific to being a foreign nurse. There is no way that you can come to the US and study and work full-time with the student visa. You actually need to prove that you have enough funds to cover your schooling and living expenses.

Right now, the US is under a retrogression, so it will be difficult to get a green card which is permanent residency for the US to live and work here. Completing school here does not give any preference in being able to remain in the US when you finish schooling.

Please take the time to do some reading of the stickies that we have here and then let us know if you have further questions.
