I was just thinking that in order to get an H1b I need to prove that BSN is required by the employer. The Magnet status would help to prove to immigration that BSN is needed to work in this
I will not go for ADN-MSN because I need to save some money in between degrees during my OPTs (Unless I find a sponsor millionaire :) I will better work during OPT after a BSN and apply for H1b and...
There is another question. Will the Magnet status of the hospital help in getting H1b? I know that in hospitals with Magnet status there is some limit to hiring ADN nurses and they prefer BSNs to keep...
Hi LemuelRN :) I just wanted to wish you good luck with getting you H1b approved. I am also planning on getting my BSN and then applying for an H1b. I will keep my fingers crossed for you Good
Thank you for your support. I still don't give up on H1b because I have time to find some information before I get to that point. I think this is very sad that millions of illigal aliens have a...

1750 hours in a year is possible to reach if you work full time during OPT. The problem is experience. I hope to have 2 years by that time. I am sure that immigration services don't use the Benner's...
It took me 3 semesters of prereqs and 1.5 years on the waiting list totalling in 2.5-3 years to get into the program and then 2 years of the program itself. Note, while on the waiting list I still had...
I did my externship in the hospital using my CPT. Your CPT should not exceed 12 months if you want to be able to qualify for one year OPT after graduation. My CPT was 11 months. I am graduating in 4...
You will need an employer to sponsor you for an H1B. You don't pay a cent. These companies usually have lawyers to do all the paperwork. I think H1b is more difficult and more complex process than...
Thank you everyone for your response. I think in my case this will be #3 critical care. I will get 2 years of experience. One year of OPT experience after my associates degree and then one year of OPT...
