Take a refresher course? Practice as an intern? Review for inclex? What to do first!!

But many only have a 2 years Associate Degree in nursing and BSN are getting the edge in hospitals

True but they are US educated and are trained locally. Calling it a 2 year degree Associate program is a misnomer. You don't get into college and in 2 years get a Associate nursing degree. Normally it takes a student 2 years to complete the prerequisite classes then they apply to the program. So all in all an Associate degree is 4 years. A Bachelors only add a year to the total. (with the exception of the fast rack BSN programs)

Lastly, a LOT of these ADN graduates are now doing their BSN. Pretty soon you will be up against a lot of BSN US educated RN

Agreed, an ADN who graduated a month or two ago that is eligible to apply for any US employer will look a lot

Agreed, an ADN who graduated a month or two ago that is eligible to apply for any US employer and in process of getting their BSN will look a lot better than someone who graduated with a BSN years ago from a foreign nursing program even with a refresher course. I'm not judging but just stating the facts.
