Welcome! I'm hoping that you might share your education when you were India. I enjoy reading about foreign nurses and their educational experiences.

I second the motion, I would love to hear about your education also.
Have you seen any medical tourism ? Just curious.
I completed my Nursing associate degree in India. Now planning for BSN here in USA. I dont Feel any difference. Nursing its all the same Whereever u go. Only difference is the technology, u will learn as u go.
Do you want to elaborate on your education? As in how long does it take for general education, actual prerequisites, and the nursing program? Did you have a specialty? How are your clinical rotations done? How many patients did you have while you were in school etc? Where did you do your clinical rotations? Stuff like that.
