Are you actually in the US now with a visa that permits you to work here? What type of program do you wish to go into? There is a wide variety of things that are available for you.

Would suggest that you have CGFNS complete the CES, which is a credentials review, as that is needed for most programs. Also many will have requirements of entrance exams.

I am going to move this to the International Forum as you will have many more requirements that need to be completed first. You will be able to get more advice there.

Not sure which country that you were born in, but for a few of them, there is actually a wait for a green card as long as that for the BSN because of the number of people that already hold a Master's degree.

Can you be more specific so that it is easier to help you with the information that you require. Do you already hold the RN license in the US?

you might have to be an RN in the US already. plus pass english exams if needed. and you need at least a year's relevant experience to qualify.

You just need to apply to the program that you are interested in, and meet their requirements. Most of the programs have entrance exams that you will need to submit your scores on to the school.

Your BSN is accepted by all of them, same as it you obtained it here.

Best of luck to you.
