Knowing something about U.S. culture and how U.S. nurses fit into the overall health care industry is important for nurses trained outside the United States. If you are not from the United States but are interested in learning more about U.S. nursing, wish to practice in the United States, or are exploring the possibilities of attending a U.S. nursing school for graduate study, Kaplan is able to help you.
Many U.S. state boards of nursing require internationally educated nurses to obtain a CGFNS® certificate before applying for initial licensure as an LPN/LVN. The certification process requires that a candidate pass a two-part test of nursing knowledge and demonstrate English language proficiency on the TOEFL® exam. Kaplan offers a comprehensive course of study to help you pass this exam. To obtain information, please call 1-800-527-8378. Outside the United States, please call 1-212-997-5883 or log on to the website at kaplannursing.com.
