Posted almost 3 years ago First of all, i am new to this forum so hello everyone!!^_^. My name is Shanice Jones and I am a student from the Bahamas.I kno my profile says i'm form new york and i will be in a few years. Well, here's my problem. I've just recently graduated from highschool in june. I am 17 and i am waiting untill i am 18 to go to college .I will be starting in the spring. I really wanted to go to a U.S colege but my parents don't want me to go.I've finally got them to agree to let me go to college here in the Bahamas for 2 years and then the U.S for another 2 years.Will my Bahamian associates degree be legitamate in the U.S?I plan to work and live in the U.S as a registered nurse (my specialty has not been decided yet) and i want to know if what i am doing is right.
Thank you all , Shanice^_^

| Posted almost 3 years ago HI Shanice,
I would recommend you contact the International Council of Nurses for guidance and assistance. Their website is http://www.icn.ch/ Your transfer requirements will be different depending on the college you choose. You probably have a better opportunity at a private university program. You should contact the universities directly to find out what will transfer and what their prerequiste requirements are. Right now Newly Graduated RNs are having a difficult time getting jobs with the economy and changes in health care reimbursement. I don't know what is involved as far as getting a Visa to work in the US involves at this point as only so many are granted / year. Jessie RN. MSN. PHN
