:scrying:Hello everybody, i'm 20yrs and graduated from senior high school a year ago. I have decided to go and do a one year course in health assistant training, and then go to the U.S. to work as a nurse. I'm a ghanaian and don't know if i have that opportunity or not. I need your advice, what do i do?

Welcome to allnurses! :balloons: You can find plenty of information and encouragement here.

I am moving your thread to the International Nursing forum, since that is where we try to keep all questions having to do with immigration and working in another country.

Congratulations on having plans and ambitions for yourself! However, I don't think that a one-year "health assistant" course will make it possible for you to come to the US and work as a nurse. You would have to have completed the first/primary level education as a Registered Nurse in your country to be able to emigrate to the US as a nurse. The training would have to be equivalent to RN education in the US.

As mentioned in the previous post to movwe and work in the US you will need to be a RN. Much has already been written on US requirements especially the sticked called Primer to working in the USA so suggest a good read
