How to Answer
Nursing and therapist education can vary across the globe to better prepare nurses and therapists to treat patients in their home country. For this question, it will be important for you to research how your education in your home country compares to the education that a nurse or therapist receives in the United States. Talk about areas where you feel you'll need more education while also describing how your education has you well prepared for a career in the United States.

1st Answer Example
"Being trained as a nurse in Brazil, I think my education has prepared me very well for a career in the United States. In Brazil, my education had a strong focus on biology and patient care like in the United States. I think my work experience and training in my home country really prepared me to work with patients with infectious diseases and primary care issues where I don't have as sound of a background in areas like Orthopedics and Surgery."

"Having trained as a Physical Therapist in the Philippines, I feel like I am very prepared to practice in the United States. I have very great experience working with patients in an inpatient hospital setting and clinic setting. Where I feel like I am under-prepared for a career in the US is with small private rehabilitation centers."
