To work as an RN in the US, an internationally educated nurse has to juggle a credential evaluator, an English testing body, the state Board of Nursing, a fingerprinting vendor, and Pearson VUE — each with its own documents, fees, and deadlines. There's no single place that tells you what to do next, in what order, and whether you're on track. So people piece it together from PDFs, Facebook groups, and paid agencies. We fixed that.

Data sourced from each state's Board of Nursing, NCSBN, and CGFNS/TruMerit. We're neutral — no recruiting, no placement fees, no agency upsell.
We're an independent team of international nurses and professionals who want to make this process easier for others. We are not affiliated with any Board of Nursing, credential evaluation agency, testing organization, or government body. Our goal is to centralize accurate, up-to-date information and make it easier to navigate the RN licensure journey. While we do our best to keep everything current, we also rely on the nursing community—if you spot outdated information, notice an error, or share your own experience, your contribution can help improve this resource for fellow nurses around the world.
