Okay, since you're a nurse.....
My PCP is a physician assistant. He's got this lady who must be a CNA or an LPN straight off the boat from Nairobi or some other super dark-skinned country.
She had already checked basic vitals. Then the PA came in and looked at them as was like, "I'm gonna check them again." He got different readings. Then he made a comment that stuck out to me saying, "Ever since she got here, things have been a little more difficult".
Can they go through some sub-standard nursing school in Africa, then come here and use those credentials? I'm assuming they'd still have to pass some sort of certification though, right?
Edit: grammar

I don't know the entire process, but I'm pretty sure if you're licensed in another country you can come back to the states and practice, just like a doctor could go to med school outside the US and then come back. Each state has their requirements for what they want in order for the license to be valid, so you'd have to do anything extra they might want from you. I know a lot of states are reciprocal. Honestly though, if she came from Africa or whatever she probably didn't have to do much extra, if anything, depending on what state it is. Muh diversity and all that.
