If you trained outside the US
We read this program's admissions pages and they take no position on international applicants. That is not a yes and not a no — ask the program before you spend anything.
“It is required to have a current New York State RN license and adult ICU experience within the United States. ICU outside of the U.S. or its territories will only be considered if gained within a U.S. military hospital.”
Requirements change between cycles, and a program can say one thing on its website and another in an email. Confirm with the program before you pay for a credential evaluation or an English exam. We do not advise on visas or immigration. The full route, step by step
