My Journey from MBBS to Registered Nurse and Psychiatric NP in the US
I trained as a physician (MBBS) before becoming a Registered Nurse in the United States. I am now on the psychiatric-mental health Nurse Practitioner pathway. For anyone with a medical background considering this route, my process involved credential evaluation, English-language requirements where applicable, the NCLEX-RN, and state licensure. After becoming an RN, there are bridge-program options for those who want to progress to Nurse Practitioner level. Some US schools offer pathways designed for foreign-educated physicians, separate from the usual RN-to-MSN route. I am happy to answer questions, especially about transitioning from physician training to nursing. New York and Texas are possible starting points, depending on your budget and professional experience.
