The definition of the word nurse is “ a person trained to care for the sick or infirm”. There are many attributes a nurse must possess. Among them are: empathy, attention to detail, good communication skills, attention to detail, physical endurance, problem solving skills and many others. Nowhere in the literature “foreign nurse” is attached to  nurse’s qualification or a definition. Nurses are the most dedicated professionals in the healthcare field. We don’t differentiate between race,age, gender or ethnicity.. we see people are human beings in need of care. Once you become a nurse whether you are from the US or any other country or planet... nurses are committed to their profession. It is disappointing and honestly disrespectful to the profession making nurses wear a tag stating “foreign nurse”... she is going to save someone’s life whether she is from this country or any other country in the world.
