remember that your nursing Qualification will not be recognised in the USA and you will need to sit an adaptation exam and if you fail you will not be alllowed to do nursing Medical insurance will eat up a lot of your disposable income

It is foolish of you to get a Nursing education in UK and assume this prepares you for life in the USA. America has NO Socialized Health Care. It's strictly pay-as-you-go in USA for a health care plan. HEALTH CARE IN USA IS NOT FREE! USA also needs NO nurses. Too many hospitals have shut down because costs have become prohibitive, making out of work nursing staffs scrambling for jobs anywhere they can. The cost of a health care INSURANCE depends on what kind of coverage you want. The cost of prescription drugs can run thousands of dollars a week for terminal illnesses such as cancer. Immigrants do not get special priviledges when it comes to health care. If your plan does not cover the MRI and you cannot pay out-of-pocket for one, you don't get one. Simple as that. So forget thinking USA is a giant give-away for health insurance. Vision and dental are EXTRA.
