MIAMI, FL, August 10, 2011 – Azure College provides foreign trained doctors the opportunity to transfer their skills to the nursing profession through its convenient nursing degree programs as the demand for nurses in the US continues to grow.
According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment for registered nurses is forecasted to increase by 22% until 2018. Internationally trained physicians who are finding it hard to obtain their medical licenses can become nurses quickly at Azure College.
Many foreign trained physicians come to the US in search of better opportunities but find it difficult to complete the rigorous requirements needed to obtain licensure. Often these medical professionals are choosing to obtain a nursing degree in order to continue working in the medical field.
These graduates also offer many benefits to the communities they serve including meeting the demands of the immigrant and non-English speaking residents.
