nursing education in USA after doing diploma from india

World General World

Published

Hi all,

I am a first year male student of nursing doing a diploma course in india. I saw on the internet that in USA the authorities are making the rule that the minimum education requirements that allow a nurse to work is a Bachelor degree. As my cousins are staying there, i planned to go there after my studying and do further MSN studies if possible.

Now will the diploma education allow me to got there in the future or should i go for a B.Sc Nursing degree here. In that case will the B.Sc degree be considered equivalent to a bachelor degree(BSN) there .

Anyone currently working in USA, please kindly give ur suggestions.

Also is it possible that such a rule would come into existence considering the shortage of nurses in USA

Thank you so much Suzanne4 and Silverdragon102 for your valuable replies. They sure have made me think twice on pursuing a career in nursing which i until now thought is the only sure thing that i can help my family with.. But before giving up, I guess I will now have to begin research on nursing in other countries or just stick to mine (india) until i finish studies and then hunt for the job.. Hellz...i still am helpless... :(

You are not helpless, that is for sure. We are just trying to be upfront with you as far as what is happening in immigration here right now.

can somebody give me a comparison of nursing in career in india and philippines please.thanks
