If you are training as a general nurse in the UK then you can take the nurses exams for the US...I'm told 25% of nurses from other countries pass...if you are say just a childs nurse....like my friend is....she is now doing 3 years retraining.......and could not get a job in a hospital over here....she had a greencard through her husband.....so that was not a worry......nurses are needed so I'd really look into it......

That would be up to what visa you're coming over on......and who is paying........

You usually have to wait until after renewal. Applying isnt relevamt anyway, they are taking three years to process. If your sponsorring job folds in that time, you are back to the drawing board.
