Internationally Trained Nurses Seeking Course Deficiency from the BRN

For nurses who have received their RN training abroad and wish to take one or two courses to meet a BRN deficiency, we offer course options for completion. Please review the steps below.

You will need to follow the steps below and then apply for the program.

1. Email nursing@csustan.edu with a copy of your BRN letter of deficiency (for international nurses).
2. Take the ATI TEAS at any institution or online through the ATI Testing website. Be sure to have them sent to Stanislaus State (not Stanislaus State UEE) through ATI. You need at least a 73% on one of your first three attempts.
3. Send us an email with a copy of your TEAS so we can verify your score.
4. We will reply with information for you to take the RN Fundamentals ATI (in June) and RN Pharmacology ATI (in July) and then apply to the program in August.
5. Please email your receipt to the School of Nursing to confirm your testing date. The Nursing Office will follow up with you on your tests.
6. Once you pass all three ATI tests, you will be placed on a list to be admitted to the pre-licensure BSN program based on availability.

International nurse applicants are admitted on a space-availability basis to our pre-licensure program. International nurses typically only spend one semester to complete their deficient coursework.
