I'm a doctor in latin america but I want to becomen a nurse in USA. what can I do?
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.

1 :
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.
2 :
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

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.
