I can't answer all of your questions, but I know most US hospitals are willing to hire new grads. I work with nurses educated in the Philippines and other countries whose BSN degrees are valid here, so I don't know why a Masters would be any different. I'm definitely not the authority though! Best to you...and you'll need lots of warm clothes for those Illinois winters!!!
