International student and hospital sponsorship

[jaqy]

I know that some hospitals and medical facilities pay your way through nursing school in exchange for mandatory years of dedication to them after graduation. some even give stipends in exchange for the hours that you work while in nursing school, while others don't require any sort of commitment til after you graduate. I live in New York but I am an international student who has 80 credits towards a bachelor's degree in Biology, thinking about switching from premed to nursing. I would like any information from any one who could help. my ultimate goal is to become a CRNA and i would not mind sticking it with one institution with minimal pay til i accomplish my goals. let me know what you guys think i do love reading the threads. thank you.

Hi Silver Dragon,

thank you for your reply. This is too much risk. CRNA is US only, in Italy or in the whole EU Anesthesia is administered by MDs only.

Very likely I will have to give up my spot.

In all honesty my American Dream is dead. I spent 10 years in the coutry, I have 2 University degrees, I just do not feel to invest 150,00 USD without knowing that I can practice what I learned.

This is just too bad. I wanted to be a CRNA for a long, long time and I would be very good at it.

300 applicants for 30 spots...I got one... and I have to give it up.

Well....life is good ! so cheers, and thanks for the info.
