Help for a doc!

Anybody knows if a foreign family physician can work in the USA as a nurse?

Thank you

    No, they cannot.

    ......unless they graduate from an accredited nursing program and pass the NCLEX.

    Foreign MD does not equal nurse, no matter how hard the MD tries.

    There are a few threads here in the international forum discussing this but generally no you have to get approval from the BON and being a MD doesn't always meet requirements.

    In a ddition they have to get the legal permit, as a nonUS citizen to work here. Depending on nation of origin/citizenship and the state of retrogression, 4-7 years is the wait in many cases to to get a work Visa.
