Spoiler Warning, this is my impression in a general way after watching the first two episodes.
I can see credibility problems which require a suspension of belief on two different levels. First is the documentation paperwork involved with bank accounts, pay, leases, etc, which is an issue that was addressed somewhat in the first two episodes. They glossed over a lot of this, and in some ways had they gone into detail, it likely would have been criticized for too much paperwork. But in a show about a stolen identity, to be done well, these details need to be included. If handled as well as they were, in say, Day of the Jackal, then it could be anything but a boring aspect of the show.
Second is the transition of her medical competence from being a nurse in one scenario to being a doctor in another. To me, much of it was disappointing because they had her seem a bit too obviously out of her comfort zone, standing paralyzed for what seemed like ages rather than being part of the A&E team. Those who watched The Fall will recall the most excellent A&E scene which was done in excruciating detail and accuracy. Yes, we get that she feels out of place, but I think it would have come off better as her being competent in public and then having a near breakdown in private as opposed to the 30-45 second long deer in the headlights looks which should have raised an immediate red flag from everyone else in the room.
One thing the show does is address the difference between credentials and credibility, in much the same way that early seasons of the USA TV show Scrubs showed that the staff nurses were often more competent at performing some procedures than the new residents and interns. Most A&E work is routine tasks under higher pressure and I know a number of older experienced Physicians Assistants who could easily pass as an MD in working up and treating a patient.
