Nurses are skilled practitioners who save lives and improve patient outcomes every day in a wide variety of settings. Most nurses practice in their home countries, but as globalization increases, there is a need for skilled nurses who can be successful in other countries as well, who can communicate fully in English and who are familiar with increasingly complex health care and care technology. The GNRP is a comprehensive program for international nursing professionals who want to become global nurses. The program helps participants develop a clear understanding of the philosophy and practice of nursing in the US, provides experience working in a US hospital or clinic with ongoing feedback from a mentor, prepares participants for the NCLEX-RN examination and improves international employment possibilities.
