I am in India and interested in doing nursing course? Pls tell me what degree I needed to be a nurse in US?
I want to do a nursing degree which can help me to be a nurse in USA. Previously I had done my under graduation in Commerce. In my town there is couple of hospital/Universities which offers General Nursing courses(which is of 3 years and after that I have to do 1 year job in same hospital). This hospital/Univesity is approoved by "Indian Nursing Council". Can somebody advice me what is the procedure of being a nurse in US but getting degree in India. Thanks

In the U.S. nurses must meet certain licensing requirements. If there is an area of the U.S. in which you wish to work you may want to contact the licensing agency in that particular state to check requirements. Another thing you could check are curriculum's of a few nursing colleges. There are two types of nursing degrees, LPN and RN. The LPN requires an Associates Degree or ASN and can be obtained in 2 years at some community colleges. The RN requires a BSN or Bachelors Degree in Nursing and takes 4 years to complete. When you check curriculum's you may want to email those schools and perhaps send the curriculum in India and compare the two programs. I don't recall having met any nurses from India but there are many doctors from your country working here. I am sure some of them came to the U.S. with their MD's.

He needs to contact the Nursing board of the state that he is interested in. In California he need to apply at the board and wait for a response and if he requiered a remediation class he can contact us at Welcome Back program in Mt San Antonio College at 909-594-5611 ext 6101 for personal orientation.
