Hey sunkoshi good to know you passed your NCLEX i am not into medical person but i know a little. From what i heard, nurses are not eligible for a F1 they straight away apply for their greedcard, you need your permanent license and then a hospital or nursing home to sponsor you and a visa certificate. http://www.usavisanow.com/nursegreencardinfo.html for more information you only get an H1B if you are a nurse that specalize in something i dont think you need to go to school, then again i am not sure on that.
