nursemd

Thanks to everybody for support and cautionary tales. I will be careful to not sign MD after my name :wink2:

I would love to practice medicine here, but the effort to re-enter this field seems to be incompatible with my family life. Mostly Critical Care. Thank you all so much for your responses, I did not expect to get so much support. I posted my question here because one old nurse advised me to always hide my MD experience. Her words were:''Never tell nurses that you were a doctor. They will think that you are smarter than they are and will feel envy". I hope this is not the case, but what do you think about it? And another problem - how doctors may react if they will know that a nurse has foreign MD degree?

Hello everyone, I just came across this wonderful forum and decided to post my question. I have MD and RN degree from my country and currently is thinking about nursing career in the USA. One of my concerns is will nurses accept me as a nurse if they will know about my MD degree. What kind of problems can I be faced in this scenario? Any advices how I should behave? I will appreciate any replies. Thank you:) .
