can i work as a nurse in USA if i have doctor's diploma from ukraine?
I'm a medical student in Ukraine. I'm graduating next year. I wanted to ask if it was possible to work as a nurse in USA having Ukrainian Doctor's degree? or if I need to pass any tests to improve my diploma? because I know that it is impossible to work as a doctor in USA having Ukrainian diploma.

You would still need to apply to take and pass the NCLEX exam.

I found this at: http://www.learn4good.com/nursing/how_to_become_a_nurse.htm How to Become a Nurse: There are three ways to qualify as a Registered Nurse and apply for entry level nursing positions. They are as follows 1. Completing a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing (BSN), 2. Completing an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN), or 3. Completing a Diploma Program in a hospital. Registered Nursing Programs: All registered nursing programs include classroom instruction and block experience in hospitals or clinics. Typical subjects studied by student nurses include: - Chemistry, Nutrition, Psychology, Anatomy, Physiology, Microbiology, Behavioral Sciences, and Nursing. During the practical block of a nurse’s education, student nurses are supervised in a hospital department, and usually rotate around such departments as pediatrics, psychiatry, maternity, and surgery. Nurses with an Associate Degree can later choose to enter a Bachelor's program, this will allow for more career and educational opportunities in the future. Bachelor’s of Science Degrees in Nursing programs are also available for individuals with a primary degree in another field. Some universities offer transfer credits to students who may have previously completed some of the modules in another science degree program. Transfer credits are at the discretion of each university. Qualifying: In the past, most nurses qualified by completing diploma programs. Due to advances in Nursing practices, today most Nurses qualify by completing an associate degree or bachelor degree program. Once a student nurse obtains a degree or diploma, he/she must then obtain a nursing license by completing a national licensing examination, known as the NCLEX-RN. NCLEX-RN: This test is a computer-based test, designed to measure the skills and knowledge of potential nurses. This test can ask between 75 and 265 questions depending on the student nurses knowledge. The more questions he/she gets right the quicker he/she will move through the levels. If a question is answered wrong, the student nurse will stay at that level until he/she displays that they have a enough knowledge to move onto the next level, or the time runs out. Student Nurses should allow six hours to take the test. It will not take long if he/she is very knowledgeable on the subject matter. Some state laws have previously dictated that to work in a state other than where the Nurse qualified in, he/she would have to sit an additional license examination. Today many states have entered into an agreement known as The Nurse Licensure Compact Agreement. This agreement allows nurses who are licensed by one member state to practice in another member state without obtaining any additional license.

I'm a medical doctor in latin america, but I really want to become nurse in the USA and work. I wonder if somebody knows about the steps that I have to do? I will become a legal resident in the USA soon.Therefore inmigration is not something that I have to worry about. I would rather a link or website than a motivation.

get a green card is the first step, or student visa if you want to learn how to become a nurse. or a working visa. But seriously, we have way to many doctors. Of course, who says there's a limit?
2 :
Apply, visit, see if you like it, and go through the proper legal process/channels if you wish to stay... and you will be welcome.
3 :
You would have to contact a state board of nursing. In order to work as a nurse you need: 1)graduation from an accredited school of nursing (two degrees are quite often required depending upon the state: science and nursing) 2)passing a stringent background check 3)passing the state board Being a doctor doesn't qualify you to work as a nurse. Nurses have far different skills than a doctor does as they perform a different duty. Yes - you will have it easier going to nursing school as you already know your diseases - however, you still will have to learn the nursing skills that doctors are never taught in medical school. A doctor may have difficulties working as a nurse due to differing attitudes towards patients. Doctors normally diagnose and prescribe medications - then walk off. Nurses deal with tons of emotional issues, clean diapers, translate what doctors said into plain language for the patients. You need to ask yourself some questions - can you change from prescribing medications to be taken during the night to changing an altzheimer patients diapers, watching a 1/2 dozen patients all night long - with an average of 2-3 of them very capable of self harm due to dimished capacities....doing stuff to themselves like yanking out catheters, or trying to commit suicide? Doctors don't do these things - nurses do it every single shift - and nurses get talked down to by doctors, and get blasted by patients families when they are upset due to anger (with god, medical system, family members, etc) - and must smile while and be pleasant regardless of how they are treated... If I havent discouraged you - good luck with your endeavors!

I looked at something like this a couple years ago. A friend of mine from Guatemala was going to move to USA and he's a doctor. He would have had to take a competency test to be licensed in USA. I remember he would probably have had to study for 6 months (estimate) in order to have a good chance at passing the test. He stayed in Guatemala with a practice there.

professional licencing [includes nurses] in US is run by the individual states. each state has their requirements avail on the internet. google will find the entry websites for you for any state you're interested in. the good news is that many US states have a shortage of nurses. That means there is a fair chance of getting a work visa -- the the US government's website for details. I would not be surprised to discover that a US employer has to apply for the visa on your behalf. There is an employer certification required saying that they're tried and failed to full their position with a US citizen. Which may mean that you need to find a US employer as the first step. [Hint: major hospitals in large cities are more likely to know how to navigate the paperwork to facilitate your work visa and licence. Hospitals in those cities with many German tourists and/or many German business travelers may need your German language skills which they'll likely be unable to find in the US labor market.] What kind of nursing do you wish to do?

No nurse visas since 2006 ...Your right POTUS want just home grown nurses check http://allnurses.com/ for more info
2 :
They aren't banned. If she at least an RN or even better has additional qualifications she can try to find an employer willing to sponsor her for an H1B. http://www.murthy.com/h1bnurse.html Immigrating illegally might get her physically into the US, but she is not going to get work as a nurse in a hospital as an illegal immigrant.
