What kind of visa can I get for nursing courses in US

World International

I'm in Ukraine (RN here). Upon CA BoN request I need to make up Obstetric and Psychiatric nursing courses in California. I found a school there where I can take them during a year. Is it going to be a student visa?

It will be under a student visa, but to make up the classes should not take more than a few months.

I would look at taking the classes where you are located in an approved school of nursing, preferably where you attended school in the first place. You will have to leave the US after completing the make-up courses, you will not be able to remain here.

CA permits the courses that are done in your country in regular nursing schools, they do not accept any on-line programs that are international to make up the hours.

I just tool these courses in my country, Ukraine, during 4 months, but CABoN has rejected them.

Here's their letter:

Based on the additional documents sent by your school for completion of obstetric and psychiatric nursing, you are still deficient and do not meet California requirements in obstetric and psychiatric nursing.

In order to meet this requirements, it will be necessary for you to make up this course(s), both theory and clinical practice, in an accredited school of professional nursing in CALIFORNIA. (A list of accredited schools in California was enclosed previously).
