Dear Farnaz:

It didn’t snow as heavily here (West Coast) as in the eastern coast of the U.S., but the ice was scary.

“In Iran there is  also a shortage for nurses. I have some plans in my mind and I’m going to search about working as a registered nurse or NP too, thank you for suggestion, and by the way what is the meaning of registered nurse, is there multiple ways to become a nurse except going to university?“- you are welcome. There are multiple nurse titles, requiring different levels of education and which pay different salaries. An NP is the highest level, considered to be almost like a physician. I don’t know much about it otherwise. You can easily research it online.

Here is something interesting that I just came across, from visa place. com:(I know nothing about this website, but what follows rings true): “Are you currently working and have experience as a nurse and are interested in immigrating to the United States? Well, we have great news for you! The federal government projected that more than 200,000 new registered nurse positions will be created each year from 2016-2026. The United States is always looking for experienced healthcare workers, especially nurses as they are in high demand!”, etc.

*The average salary stated in the website does not include- I think- the on-contract traveling nurses who make much, much more.

I will respond to a few other things you brought up in your recent post later on, probably tomorrow morning!
