This is not a tuition reimbursement program, and we do not reimburse for educational costs you have already incurred.

Even though your credentials have been evaluated to determine you meet the professional standards to work as an RN in the U.S. though the VisaScreen process, your nursing school coursework will need to be evaluated by a NACES member credential evaluation service to ensure they meet the academic standards for admissions into an advanced nursing degree program. You will not be charged for this evaluation or for the application and in most cases Health Carousel will have the necessary documents on file to submit for evaluation.
