if somebody  has staff nursing degree from Nepal, how difficult is it to get job in US and can that person join bachelor of nursing in US. anybody who has experience.

I don't have clear cut idea but as per my knowledge it is not difficult to get job in US for Nepalese Nurses. But they have to give TOEFL exams (IBT now) and score 80 or above and they have to give 1/2 more nursing exams to get the eqivalence here. So if someone is average smart its not hard at all. And again it takes some time  to complete all those exams. Nurses get H1 very easily.

thanks solitude but how bout studying BN in US. can you transfer some of the courses from nepal and study like regular RN does over here

This is very  bad time for foreign nurse to work in USA. There is no visa number available for foreign nurse
to work even you pass the NCLEX and VISA SCREEN.  BSC  in Nursing might be a option for now if
you are already in USA. But if you are in Nepal, it might not be wise thing for now because what after BSC?

 

   Did u pass NCLEX? If yes then you can apply for bridge to RN programme in which you will finish BSN-RN within 2 yrs.And if you haven't pass NCLEX then it's worthless to try to transfer Nursing courses from Nepal coz nursing programme in the US doesn't expect it.

 By the way,have u gotten eligibility to take NCLEX yet coz i need to ask you some questions.

Can some of you also share what is the salary range for RN.

 

Some of my frens r gettin' above $25/hr.

do you need any kind of experience to give nclex exam. how bout fresh grad who are just out of college from nepal and somehow manage to come to us. are they eligible to give nclex if they have nursing license(staff nurse) in Nepal.

 

     I think they can.But it depends whether nursing school from nepal can suppy the document which

 needs to get license.I guess that part is quite difficult coz some board of nursing shows lack of  enough

practical hrs for Psychiatric nursing and some for pediatric nursing.If u get lucky to make documents which

board of nursing need,u'll get eligibilty within 3-4 months.

By the way anybdy has done nursing from biratnagar Nursing college?

 

thanks obessed
