One of my friends wife is also a nurse. she did her bsn from India and came to us to study MBA health care. She passed her RN exams and found out about the retrogration. she had to wait for her OPT. not finding any work, she found at last found work in Texas, somewhere...worked there for  six months.. the company had filed her H1b but it was rejecteted.. so she had no choice other then to study for her masters in nursing.. she was saying that its very expensive and very hard to get scholarships... she is now somewhere in NC or SC... she is doing MSN Adult health.... she didnt work for  year.. but after a year.. she applied for CPT and is working part time as she said that the school is strict in giving CPT... was telling me that its tough.. as you can work only 20 hrs per week in part time...but in hosptial you have to work two 12 hours shit =24 hrs per week.. so she is afraid if the school come to know.. she will be out of status...

so its very scary.. but i would like to suggest something.. there is a uni in North virgiania.. its UNVA. edu.. i know its been raidied by USCIS but they are still there.. and there are many indians and nepalese still....... they give CPT to the first year student ...you can join MBA health care and work i guess in hosptial... till you have made enough money... adn then shift to MSN.. just my though....

you guys know the best..
