Yes, but u need to take certain examinations to qualify you to work in the US. Before it was CGFNS, but I think it is now NCLEX that you need to pass to qualify working abroad.

You should ask your counselor or teachers at your current school. Also, ask a potential employer, such as a Dr. office or hospital if they accept such a degree. Find a website or forum that discusses this subject, you will find there will be more expertiese in your area, not just general answers.
