   kelly302 replied to kelly302's topic in International

   Actually, Japanese whose graduated from foreign nursing schools are permitted to take exams just like those who graduated from schools in Japan. But the exam is held only once a year. I personally do not want to work in Japan as a nurse. The functio...

   Lt Dan, Thanks for the great advice. I may still talk to a recruiter again, though. I know it is a tough road if I join as enlisted. I don't want to give you a wrong impression, though. You may think that I join the military just for a citizenship ...

   Yes, I am a Japanese citizen. Unfortunately, I don't have a dual citizenship. I believe neither U.S. government and Japanese government allow dural citizenship over 18 years old. There are only some countries, like Eygpt, which allow people to have d...

   Thanks for the encouragement. I wish you all luck to become RN in the near future. I am glad to hear some others want to become a military nurse as a foreigner. P.S. I am a female. So I don't wish to be called Sir. Thanks.
