About Us

HCPI Works with International Students and Universities to create collaborative programming leading to Bachelors and Masters degrees in Nursing from accredited, not for profit colleges and universities in the United States.

For 5 years, HCPI has been providing pathways to US higher education for international students interested in health careers. HCPI offers you

  • Nursing programs in collaboration with leading colleges and universities in the United States
  • Nursing programs that are accredited by CCNE, The Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education, the premier accrediting body for nursing in the United States
  • The choice of online classes in which you can study in the comfort of your own home
  • On-site classes in which you can experience campus life at an American college or university
  • Programs lead to a Bachelor degree in Nursing;
  • Programs that satisfy the Visa Screen requirements as determined by the Commission of Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools, CGFNS.
  • Reasonable rates of tuition that include an orientation to the particular college or university, English as a Second Language instruction where necessary, and personalized guidance, counseling, and academic advising through your degree program
  • Paid internship experiences in many of the degree programs
  • Professional advising on post graduation job placement

Depending on your academic and professional background, HCPI offers various Pathways for you to receive a Nursing degree from a US college or University.

Pathway 1

If you are a licensed nurse in your own country with a two or three year professional degree, you can enroll in the RN to BSN Completion program This is designed as an 18 month program depending on the number of college credits that are accepted by the US college or university and whether you need ESL instruction. This program is offered on-line as well as on campus.

Pathway 2

If you are a licensed nurse in your own country with a bachelor’s degree, you can enroll in the RN to BSN Completion program and complete the program in one year. Again, this depends on the number of college credits that are accepted by the US college or university and whether you need ESL instruction. This program is offered on-line as well as on campus.

In order to be admitted to the programs, students must

  • Complete the college or university’s admissions application.
  • Submit an official college transcript. Students applying to Pathway 2 must provide proof that they are licensed nurses in their own country.
  • Students applying to Pathway 1 and 2 must have their college record reviewed and approved by CGFNS as being the equivalent to nursing courses offered in the United States.
  • All students must take a standardized test, in most cases the Accuplacer, to determine English proficiency.

HCPI offers you employment opportunities

Once students complete their bachelor’s degree in one of the completion programs will be able either to return to their country of origin or, if they prefer, they can apply for a paid practical training internship and ultimately a job in the U.S. For those students interested in staying the U.S. for internships and job placement, HCPI will place those qualified students with organizational sponsors that will facilitate this process.
