my fiance is a nurse from Russia. She just received her visa. Can she obtain work as a nurse in the usa?
She really wants to work in the hospital in the states. Is there a support organization to assist her in achieving her goals?

Probably not.... She will have to go through nursing school here in order to practice here. I work for a shoe company...two of the men I work with were doctors in Russia.

She will probably need to be retrained or be recertified as a nurse once she is here in the states. Other parts of the world has different ways of treating their ill and not all ways are approved here in the US as good health care practice. Also, some health professions need to be certified to work in different states. It may be the same to work in different countries. As far as a support network, you could be No.1 in her life, I don't know of any official group for that. But who knows there could be.

No she will need to retrain as nurses in the US do more than nurses in other countries. My friend came from Mexico and had to go to two years of Nursing school to train... I am a nurse and I wish her lots of luck!!

She needs certified and notarized translation her diploma, all related documents, evaluate them and get licensed by the state. Of course, she has to speak good English, too. I know plenty of Russians with Russian medical diplomas working in health care.
