    Any area of study is useful if you can find employer in the same area who is willing to sponsor you.

    No at this time. H1-B for nurses are restricted to postions that meets all the following requirements:
    Must have a BS
    The nurse position must require a BS in nursing.
    Usually, these job positions are in the administrative area for which work experience of at least 2 years is required.
    Also, most of the hospitals are reluctant to sponsor H1-B visas for foreign nurse, even if they are educated in the USA.
    In my reaserch on the topic, I found that less than 20 foreign nurses (nationwide) were hired as H1-B.
