I have been a Director of Nursing and Nursing Supervisor as well as a staff nurse with RNA's. Registered Nurse Applicant should apply to any person who is waiting for an RN license in the US. Patients have asked what this means. To add Foreign Nurse is going to add to questions and insecurity from patients. As long as the State Board of Nursing has verified the school and curriculum of the RN Applicant there is no need to add "foreign nurse".
