what are some good websites to find out about living and working in countries other than USA (ie work visas)?
I'm going to graduate from college in Spring with a nursing degree and I'm thinking of maybe living and working in another country (an Anglophone country) just to try it out! Thnx

You can apply to Britain or Australia - they need Nurses. http://ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/workingintheuk/tier2/general/ You will need to contact employers in the UK in order to get a sponsorship certificate (saying they need your skills in their company) You will also need proof of funds, around $2000, to show you can look after yourself in the UK until your first paycheque comes in. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/visa-options-outside.htm is the website for Australia.

I think you should browse the USCIS web site.

Well, if you get a high paying job, you will have no problemo getting PR. And, if you are good looking, I could marry you, and you could get your PR, and all you would have to do, is just pay my bills, and cook for me.
3 :
No you would not be eligable to work in the US automatically. First you have to pay for the student visa application, pay for your plane ticket, pay for your tuition, pay for your room, pay for your board, have health insurance, and have enough money to live off of for two years without the help of the US government. Then once you graduate you can try to apply for a work visa but there is no guarantee that you will get one. Most likely since it is an associates and not a BSN or MSN you application will be rejected due to the fact there is enough associate degreed nurses in the US to fill the roles by US citizens.
4 :
If you have a Nursing degree your going to have no problem. They are in foreign countries looking for nurses
5 :
There are other requirements aside from getting an associate degree in Nursing in your country for you to be able to work here in the USA.Aside from hospital experience you have to pass the State Board or NCLEX and there is also a requirement that you should have an employer here in the USA.
6 :
No. You need a BSN (4 year degree) and a minimum of 2 years of work experience. An ASN (2 year degree) is not eligible for a work visa.
7 :
Go online and find nursing schools that are accepting international students and enquire as to what is required educationally or just email a cross section of nursing schools across the USA asking about their international student programs. The link below provides a list of every nursing school in the country. Just send out emails until someone can help you. I have a feeling they want you to be a RN already or enrolled in a RN program in your own country and the international student programs are for transfers or post graduate courses but it doesn't hurt to enquire but I am pretty sure they don't offer visas for the associate degree program. http://www.a2zcolleges.com/Nursing/index.html Apply in lots of different locations in the US otherwise immigration can be suspicious of your motives. You will need an F1 visa if accepted which is not PR status but once qualified you can apply for a visa screen to get PR status and yes, you would be eligible to work if you are a trained nurse then. If you want to be a PR immediately you will have to train in your own country first and then apply to work here. You will have to pay for your own tutition fees which will run to thousands of dollars unless they offer scholarships which are generally very competitive etc and you will need to have good English skills, although clearly you already have a pretty good grasp of the English language. Your school transcipts must be available and translated and you will have to prove your ability to support yourself financially while in the USA when studying. I am not hopeful they take international students without an existing nursing degree but I wish you luck anyway.

An associates degree is not sufficient. You need at least to get a bachelor's degree for anyone to sponsor you for a green card.

I plan to get done with my BA in Registered Nursing(RN) in approximately 4yrs from now. Thanks ZsaZsa, for all the info. I kind of wanted to hear the opinions of people in the UK.....if there are any who have read my question so far lol

I suggest to contact the National Health Service of UK. On their website I found: > A Work Permit will be required for applicants from outside the EEA. An employer will not be able to get a work permit for an applicant if the post can be filled by a UK or EEA resident and therefore are unlikely to consider applicants resident outside the EEA area if the post can be filled from within. NHS employers will indicate in their advertisements whether applicants from outside the UK will be considered. For further information contact: http://www.workingintheuk.gov.uk < And you might contact the Nursing and Midwifery Council in UK. They have a web site at http://www.nmc-uk.org/.

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.
