hey guys! before going into nursing, make sure you research about visa retrogression. no more GC for nurses. also, tough to get hired with12 months opt. new grad RNs usually have 6 months of orientation before they're full fledged. that's ur training period. your chances of getting hired declines when the hospitals have to train you 6 months and you'd leave them soon with opt expiration. you could always go back to grad school after opt. the catch is, good grad schools for nursing usually require at least a yr of experience(may be more). and most of the grad students do hv more than a yr experience. btw, nursing shortage is not a national thing anymore. the shortage is pretty much regional now. quite a few hospitals are in hiring freeze....just so you know!

if you love nursing, i'd say go for it! if not, please have a second thought.

my apologies in advance for this discouraging post. just letting you know so you could make an informed decision.
