Dian, did you get any answers about licensure out of state? I am about to complete an MSN in community/school health. I have been a school nurse for many years. I am interested in volunteering with an advanced practice nurse on a reservation on a school health or community nursing project/program. I emailed several contacts on the IHS site but all my emails were undeliverable.

Hi,
I’m a RN in connecticut looking to do some volunteer work at an Indian reservation this summer. Would I have to get a license in the state I plan to volunteer in?
I would prefer not if possible.
Are there any needs beginning May 2011?
thanks,

My wife is an ENT Specialist with about 18 years as a surgeon in Malaysia. She is a graduate of a prestigious medical college in India, and she is a citizen of that country. I am an American Citizen. We have been married for several years and are considering a move back to the US. She has not gone through the USMLE programs, but we have been advised that some Indian reservations may not have the same requirements as an “off the reservation” doctor’s office. Is this true? At her age, 54, including residency requirements after passing the USMLE, she may well be near 60, which doesn’t giver her much time to actually practice in the US. With her experience, qualifications, and training is it possible for her to be hired at an Indian reservation?

I haven’t met anyone who has worked for IHS that did not leave disgruntled and unappreciated. Myself included.
