Foriegn Dental hygienist question?  

answers 0:My wife is a Dental hygienist in South America and now were planning on coming to the states (were both US Citizens). She went to school in South America and worked here as well, I'm pretty sure all this schooling and work doesn't count in the states...So what exactly would she have to do to become a "legal" Dental hygienist in the State of Forida? Thanks in advance guys!answers 1:She needs to check the state's website for professional licensing, see what the requirements are. She'll need her diploma and official transcript, of course. But she can pretty much count on having to go back to school in FL, starting over from scratch, take the licensing exams, etc. Few states accept any diplomas from schools in countries in S/Cent. Amer. or Carib.answers 2:Check the Website for the State and see what th! e licensing requirements are.
