nursing science degree
Bachelor of Nursing Science from a college in Atlanta GA.
... eique hujus Diplomatis virtute potestatem plenissimam Medicinarum munera ubique gentium exercendi singulaque jura, (see English below) concedimus. My concern is: what exactly is it saying? .... and by virtue of this Diploma we grant her the full power to practice as a ??? anywhere in the world, and every right, honour and privilege granted to a Bachelor of Science elsewhere in the world.
There'd have to be a limit to what a degree like this would entitle you to practise. Thanks in advance, David

medical nurse practitioner
Think I'd go for something like this. It's a nursing degree so the word "medicine" isn't really appropriate here.

Discussion
My dictionary (Latin>French Gaffiot) gives only the singular form for the medical art and that's how I've always seen it in Latin texts, but I have never translated any medical degree. The same source also gives "drug, remedy" for medicina.
Anyway, if the meaning is "the full power to exercise the charge of" it seems to me that it should be followed by the name of the practitioner (nurse/medecine doctor, etc) not by the name of the discipline (medicine). In which case, it would be strange, IMO, for the word to be in the plural form.
Could it be medicina in the meaning "drug, remedy"?
