Oh, I read it alright WM, he can certainly get in line for med school here in the USA...just have to take the MCAT and have a recognized under-grad degree.  As long as the AMA controls the number of seats in our med schools, admissions will remain very competitive. If he's that well trained and knowledgable, he should be able to breeze through a nursing program though.  The sky's the limit now that he's in the USA.
