Becoming a doctor after BSc Nursing

Becoming a doctor after BSc Nursing?
I have a BSc nursing degree from Canadian University and would like to go to medical school(become a doctor) in USA.Will my credits from my current Bsc degree get transferred in the medical school?How many years of medical school do I have to attend if I already had few subjects of medical school in my nursing degree?

Transfer credits are up to the individual school so you'll have to inquire at the schools that you are considering. A friend, now deceased, was a BSN for a number of years when she applied for medical school and became a DO. She said once that her nursing background saved her a couple of years though she went to the same school for both.
2 :
NONE of your nursing credits will transfer into med school (med school never accepts transfer credits from any other career). It is also very likely you will need to take more undergrad classes to fulfill med school requirements (organic chem, bio chem, physics as nursing ones are not high enough caliber, etc) and science classes more than 5 or so years old often have to be repeated. So you are looking at 4 years med school plus any pre-reqs and however many years of residency. Your nursing education is nothing like the med school one. You also need to take the MCAT exam (med school admission exam), first.

You don't file an H1B. You must find an employer in the USA who is willing to hire you and file it for you.

You'll to check the guidelines for nursing credentialing in the US. https://www.ncsbn.org/index.htm Contact and ask them! I'd really suggest you do your program in the US. Also look into programs the Military has. Get your training paid for! http://www.discovernursing.com/jnj-specialtyID_250-dsc-specialty_detail.aspx
2 :
Yes. You can work in US after completion of your course.
3 :
You would have to have your education and experience evaluated by the BON in the state you want to work in.they would decide if you are eligible to write the NCLEX.If you pass it then you would get a license for that state.
