For an H-1B the job USUALLY has to require a BSN. Even then the USCIS will scrutinise the job description very closely to ensure it meets requirements as "specialised".

This is because in the US an associates degree, not a BSN, is the minimum requirement to be an RN.

Even with a BSN the nurse still has to compete with US RNs to secure the position, so several years experience is going to be required.

I have heard of some clinical nurses (rather than managers) who are classed as specialists getting H1-B eg critical care, dialysis,OR.

Sponsorship for an H1B for a nurse can be difficult because USCIS takes the position that typically nurses are not jobs requiring a BS degree. In some circumstances it may be possible to obtain an H1B for nurse employment.

One should consult with an experienced immigration lawyer to explore avenues and obtain specific legal advice.
