Honestly, it's too easy. We leave holes in the system so people from foreign country can cheat and get an easy in. It depends on how you look at the system. In California, the Visa is taken about by foreignors that aren't even qualified and should be deported because they're not even working as a Nurse. It clogs up our system.
2 :
May be tougher these days. From what I've been reading, nurses are being laid off in parts of the country.
3 :
Due to retrogression you are looking at a wait of several years.
4 :
First, you must have US Nursing License, by passing NCLEX. http://www.ihrcanada.com/american/USNusringLicense.htm https://www.ncsbn.org/nclex.htm Then you apply jobs at US hospitals who is willing to file Petition for your H1C Temporary Workers visa for medical field. http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1271.html
5 :
First you have to take the NCLEX-RN test, if you that. You would be able to go into a Hospital and affor for a job. They usually make all the papers to get you a visa (green card) for 3 years. But NCLEX is very difficut to pass. If you are Mexican, it will be easier, because Mexico have the TLC (tratado de libre comercio)

2 :
What you should do is figure out which state you plan to move to. Some states might have different requirements. Then look at the website for that state (ends in .gov) and then look up their medical board and information about licensing as a nurse in that state. Contact that department via phone or email if you cant find all the information you need on their website.

You would have to take the board certification exam and if you failed that you would have to seek further education/training from an accredited college.
2 :
Most, if not all, states will accept a valid nursing license earned in Viet Nam as evidence of your qualifications and will grant you a reciprocal license. All employers will require a probationary period wherein you'll be expected to learn the peculiarities of doing the job their way. Fortunately, you'll be paid while you go through that probationary period. Welcome to the USA!
3 :
You have to apply for a license in the state in which you wish to work. They will evaluate your education and you will be required to write and pass the NCLEX exam. Also you will have to deal with retrogression, which will mean several years wait to get a visa to come to the US to work.
