APPLICATION PROCEDURE
How do I apply for the program?
The application process has many steps and each is important, so please take care with your application.
1. Go to our website GNRP at UCR. On the upper right of the page are two applications you can download. One is the program application (4 pages) and the other is the application for an I-20 (1 page). You should fill out and submit BOTH of these.
The program application is very detailed. It is based on the application you will need to file with the California Board of Registered Nurses
2. Submit a copy of each of the following, along with your application fee:
• Your transcripts and course descriptions in English.
In order to conduct a complete assessment, we need course descriptions, hours and/or units for each course in the program.
We are specifically looking for the content and hours/units contained in Fundamentals or Basic Nursing, Medical–Surgical Nursing (all of the courses in this category), Pediatrics/Nursing of Children, Maternal Nursing and Women’s Health Mental Health/Psychiatric Nursing and Geriatrics/Gerontological Nursing/Care of the Aged. If yours is an integrated curriculum, we need to know the number of hours of theory and clinical devoted to this content.
• Your language test scores
• Your Nursing Knowledge Entrance Exam score
• Statement from a doctor that you are in good health with no communicable diseases
3. UCR will do a preliminary, non-binding review of your transcripts. Only the California Board of Registered Nursing can do an official review of your transcripts. Since you will need to have the BRN review your transcripts eventually and since the process takes several months, you should begin the process in your home country since you must be in touch with your schools. To do so, go to
California Board of Registered Nursing .
4. After the application process is completed and your application has been favorably reviewed by UCR, you will receive an I-20 for the program. |
