We are all nurses
 

I have practiced nursing in my country (USA) for almost 30 years.  I give superior care in the Medical ICU for critical patients and I train new nurses to do the same.  I'm educated in a foreign country.  There is no adequate justification for internationally educated nurses to use a different designation from other candidates who practice nursing.
