Nursing in USA of immigrant nurse?
My fiancée is a nurse in China. She is a Chinese citizen and has a Chinese nursing degree. She will be coming to the States in August. What does she need to start working as a nurse here in the US? If you have gone through this or have helped someone through this process please give me some advice. I am also looking for a website with such information or a phone number of someone that could give such info.

I think you just might carve out a nice niche for yourself in China. The elderly used to be taken care of by their family. But now with all the changes in society, the elderly may not be able to depend on their children anymore. I think your skills could be in high demand in the near future.

China has an ageing population if there are no nursing homes they'd be in trouble
4 :
no. old people are left to die at home!! true!

Yes, there are nursing homes for elderly people...these are a relatively new thing and are currently mainly used by the rich (there are also aged centers for the poor but maybe not the same thing, more like comunity group meeting places), but as the population is rapidly aging more and more nursing homes will need to be opened as more people want them. Most people are currently looked after at home by the family but as incomes are rising and housing is becoming more expensive, people are wanting more freedom from parents and gran parents...its easier and cheaper for alot of people to rent a nursing home for their old folks than to buy a big enough apartment for them all to live in together.

Yes, there are nursing homes in China take for example. Over 250,000 senior citizens in Beijing -- 12.7 percent of the 2.02 million people in the city who are over 60 -- are happy to live in nursing homes, according to a survey by the municipal political consultative conference. Even if most seniors prefer traditional home-care by family members, nursing homes are becoming increasingly acceptable to the grey population,

Can I continue my Nursing degree studies in China or Japan, to return to the States and get my license
Can I continue my Nursing degree studies in China or Japan, to return to the States and get my license?
What about American colleges in China or Japan? I know there's a big one in Japan that offers Nursing but I still don't know. Seems like my major will be holding me back from studying abroad

Registered Nurse licenses are regulated by your state board of nursing. In most states, you must graduate from an school of nursing accredited by that state. If you graduate from a foreign school of nursing, you must meet that state's requirements for foreign educated nurses and then pass the NCLEX exam. Nursing is VERY different in China and I'm not sure it would prepare you well to pass the NCLEX in the US. Japanese nursing is more in line with US, but I'd check out the school carefully. The first thing you need to do is to go to the website for your state's board of nursing and see their regulations for foreign trained nurses and then compare that to the schools you are considering. I don't want to make it sound impossible because it isn't. Nurses from Ireland and the Philippines come here frequently and get a license, but usually after some kind of additional training course. Take care before studying abroad for a US license.
