Hello,

I'm Kate - in September 2016 I was with my boyfriend on best trip we've ever had - 36 days in USA, while we visited New York, Miami, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Grand Canyon, National Parks and more, more. It's the best country ever when it comes to what you feel when you are there. Everybody are so kind and helpful, you can eat so much different ice creams and everything else.. DREAM.

But this kind of trip was very expensive.

 

We would like to come back and I am looking for the possibilities. I passed all exams in Poland when studying as a nurse and now I have 2 years of experience working as a nurse in Poland.

I would like to become a registered nurse or even to work as a nurse assistant for the beginning - in Nevada or California. 

It would be great to ask you what can I do being into my country. Is it possible to pass some exams without coming to USA? 

 

Also, If I would have been sponsored by some hospital, could I come with my boyfriend? His my fiance right now, of course I will marry him before applying to job in USA - I would like to come with him to USA.

 

We are thinking about better live.. In may we will come to visit Dubai - I know there is also a nice place for nurses, and it's closer to Poland. I hope we wont feel alone in USA, on the trip in 2016 it was hard to thing you are so far away from your parents, friends and family :D

 

Thank you everybody!

If married you could see about family sponsorship through a company/hospital.

 

I think you have to take the state specific exams in person.

Ok I will.

I read about some possibility to take those exams in Germany, which is really close to Poland but Im not sure about it.

Also how can I look for sponsorship, calling into different companies/hospitals? or checking their websites?

There are agencies that deal with placement and all; but it can be fairly pricey.

 

Also as was noted by KierenHby, depends on the need and all. It isn't a simple process.

 

As to taking them in Germany again not sure. Each state has it's own specific exam so even moving from say Texas to California, it would be a new exam again.

I also read about trying to find the easiest state and try there. After that, try to move to the state I wanted to work in.

It it comes to a price - for me its priceless. My boyfriend works as a online marketer so we have our savings. I also work hard.

So, could you tell me where can I find some informations? Is it some organisation which could help me pick the best option for me to try to achieve this idea?

The obvious solution is to find a US BF, putting that aside there is no work visa for nurses, well vast majority would not qualify for a H1b which is a lottery anyway.

 

Failing that there is the EB3 Immigrant Visa and some Hospitals/Agencies do that for some reason all the ones I have seen have come from the Phillipines.

 

What does the BF do, maybe he has opportunities?

Guys thank you so much for being very helpful. Thanks for links.
He is an online marketer, he earn money using the internet on some revenue sharing sites and by trading on stock cryptocurriences - its hard to explain because I dont know how it works. 

I always tell my friend to ask him on Facebook or something. But the good thing is he earns quite good money. We have savings and thats why we would like to go to USA.

Does not sound like he has any opportunities.

He has the EU, UK if he is quick.

 

I was thinking from a US Visa perspective.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
