Discount Medical Scrubs
I am 24 years old Japanses woman.
I am working at an office in Japan. Recently I am interested in working in America as a nurse.
I am serching about that now. I am thinking about going to get a Bachelor's degree. I've already taken Bachelor's degree in Japanses university.
I wonder american university in nursing school accept international student. and is there special test for enter? not just a TOFLE test?

There are college programs in the US that allow people with an existing bachelors degree to take an accelerated BSN program. To apply you generally need to have first completed science prereqs that nursing students must take. These are usually chemistry and related courses. Each school might have a slightly different schedule so check with them. You do not have to take the prereqs at the school you wish to attend for your BSN, you can do this at any college near you and just send in the transcripts. If you did not graduate from a science-related major, this can take some time to complete. Once that’s done and you’ve been accepted, you’re qualified to take nursing specific coursework for the major, and that is all you have to take. You do not have to take irrelevant courses such as history, art, etc, ever again. Normally you can graduate in 1 to 2 years with a BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing)
If you’re a foreign student you will have to take the TOEFL, this is standard policy. You would not need to take SATs and for a bachelor program do not need to take GREs. If you had a decent GPA in your bachelor program that is all that matters.
