Candidates Outside the United States

Candidates Licensed Outside the US and Canada

If you received your nursing education or nursing license outside of the United States, its territories, or Canada you must have your education and licensure evaluated for U.S. equivalency by a foreign credential evaluation service. Your certification application will not be reviewed or approved until the credential evaluation is received.

For information on the evaluation service, please contact one of the organizations below. This is a lengthy process that should be started well before the application deadline date.
