I’m an Indian nurse, NCLEX-RN passed, and currently working in a government nursing job in India. Is it worth leaving a secure govt job and moving to the USA?
For Indian/foreign-trained nurses in the US: Would you make the same decision again? Is the USA worth it financially and for quality of life?
I’m currently working as a nurse at AIIMS and considering moving to the USA. Is it worth leaving the stability and benefits of an AIIMS government job for better income and career opportunities in the US?
For nurses who made this move—would you do it again? What are the biggest pros and cons?
​
I’m a nurse in India and I’m trying to decide between taking a nursing job at AIIMS and going to the USA to work as a nurse.
For nurses who have experience working in India or the USA, which option would you choose for the long term?
I’d like to compare:
Salary and potential savings
Work-life balance
Working hours and workload
Career growth and specialization opportunities
Job security
Benefits and retirement
Cost of living
Overall quality of life
Opportunities to move into higher positions
If you had the choice between a permanent/secure nursing job at AIIMS in India and working as a registered nurse in the USA, which would you choose and why?
I’d really appreciate honest opinions, especially from Indian nurses who have worked in both countries.
