I am a Nurse, can I apply for an H-1B visa?

Generally the H-1B visa is reserved for positions requiring at least a bachelor's degree.  A nurse holding a bachelor's degree may apply for an H-1B if there is a showing that the job duties require a bachelor's degree and that the employer traditionally fills that position with bachelor's degree holders. The H-1B status is well suited for nurse manager positions and similar positions that require bachelor's or advanced degrees.
