International StudentsThe School of Nursing coordinates recruitment, retention and continuing advisement for nursing students from abroad in cooperation with the University's Office of International Student Affairs. In addition to the English proficiency examination (TOEFL), all graduates of foreign schools of nursing must complete the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS) qualifying examinations which will enable them to take the National Council Licensure Examinations (NCLEX) for licensure as a registered nurse in Missouri. Students applying to the NNP program may be qualifying to sit for licensure in any of the continental United States. In addition to sending all official transcripts to the UMKC Office of International Student Affairs, transcripts must also be sent to CGFNS for their evaluation of degree equivalency. The Web address for CGFNS is http://www.cgfns.org/default.shtml. Information about specific requirements for admission and progression may be obtained from the School of Nursing Student Services Office. The School of Nursing retains the right to assess the level of current clinical skills prior to enrollment in clinical coursework.
