Want to start nursing career

I have done Bachelor in Dentistry from India and Master in Dental Public Health from UK. I am interested in starting career in nursing in USA as I am already in USA with my husband. I would like to know how I can start career in nursing. Do universities consider the courses done in denistry and give fast track or short courses that can enable me to obtain nursing license in USA? I would be thankful for any information on this. Do nurses get H1 Visa?

Re: Want to start nursing career

You really need to go to the university of choice you would like to attend and just sit and talk with a University Registar... I'm pretty sure if you got most of your courses through a university... they would accept them.

Re: Want to start nursing career

I agree with Nightstar. These are questions that really should be asked at the college or university of your choice. Please keep in mind that if one university gives you an answer that you don't like you should go to the next and ask the same question. Different universities have different policies about foreign degrees. What one school finds unacceptable, the next might have no problem with.

One thing to add - be sure to bring an official copy of your transcript from each previous university/college you have attended. Without that they may not be able to answer your questions accurately.
