I strongly agree with napasider and gallery. Yes nursing is not for everyone. If you are starting your career just because you can earn money then just forget about it and move on to next career. Because fact is you can earn lot of money from other profession like IT where you can start a job with 3 months of training.

You should choose nursing only when you have real passion to serve. There is no place for " chi chi" in nursing. Changing diaper is in your job description and you gotta do you job. You will be working like a front soldier in the battle field. The amount of stress and workload is incomparable to salary which they earn. I have utmost respect to nursing profession and I hope someday USCIS and US government recognize that and make it easy specially for foreign students have passion.

Again I repeat my earlier comment. It's the worst profession in terms of Visa and workload right now but it's best profession if you want to serve people.
