"Accepted" in what way? In terms of getting a visa? What qualifications do you have in nursing other than having the degree? In other words, does your nursing experience make you attractive to employers as an expert in a field of nursing. The US has enough supply of MS and MSN educated nurses right now who can fill the role of specialists and advanced practice nurses. It would be hard to compete in this climate. There are even nurses in my ICU in a staff nursing role who have master's degrees in nursing.
