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.

“U.S. citizens and permanent residents residing in the U.S. may apply online. Non-U.S. residents holding a work visa authorizing practice as a registered nurse may apply online. The program requires that all non-US transcripts evaluated by a recognized educational credential evaluation service.”
The program's own words — the page we read ↗, read 2026-09-24
Credential evaluation
A recognized course-by-course service, e.g. World Education Services or Educational Credential Evaluators
English requirement
TOEFL, IELTS, SAT or ACT where English is a second language or the four-year degree is not from an accredited US school; spoken English may also be assessed

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
