Getting into a U.S. second-degree BSN as an international student is hard. We help five students do it each year.
Fewer than ten U.S. nursing programs meaningfully accept international second-degree applicants. We know which ones, what they expect, and what trips applicants up because we are doing the journey ourselves.
THE REALITY
Four numbers that shape this whole journey.
International second-degree BSN applicants face a narrow path, limited options, and high financial pressure before they even start nursing school.
Why this matters
These numbers are why NurseNorth is intentionally selective. We focus on a small group of students each year so we can help them understand realistic programs, timelines, costs, and application expectations before they make a commitment.
