World-Class Nurses,
Credentialed for the U.S.

Nasokoma's international nurse recruitment program connects U.S. healthcare facilities with NCLEX-qualified nurses from leading nursing markets worldwide. We manage the entire journey from credentialing evaluation to visa sponsorship.

1

International Credential Evaluation

2

NCLEX-RN or NCLEX-PN Preparation

International candidates must pass the NCLEX—the same licensure exam required of all U.S. nursing graduates. We support candidates through exam preparation and registration with the NCSBN.

3

State Licensure & Background Clearance

We manage state board applications, criminal background checks, and English proficiency documentation required by each nursing regulatory body.

4

Visa & Immigration Support

Our immigration specialists coordinate EB-3 or TN visa sponsorship, VisaScreen certification, and I-140 petitions in collaboration with immigration counsel.

Nurse Credentials

The Certification
Standard We Hold

Nasokoma verifies every nurse against nationally recognized certification bodies including the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), AACN, BCEN, and the National Council of State Boards of Nursing.

NCLEX: The Gateway
to Every Placement

The National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) is the standardized national exam developed in 1994 by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN). Every nurse we place has passed the NCLEX before being considered for any assignment.

There are two versions: the NCLEX-RN for candidates with an Associate's Degree in Nursing (ADN) or Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), and the NCLEX-PN for those with a Practical Nursing diploma. The 2025 Next Generation NCLEX (NGN) has been updated to assess clinical judgment at a higher level, reflecting the evolving demands of modern healthcare.

After passing the NCLEX, nurses must apply for licensure with the Nursing Regulatory Body (NRB) in the state where they plan to practice. The Nursing Licensure Compact (NLC), currently active in 39 states, allows nurses to practice across compact states under a single multistate license—a key advantage for travel nurse placements.

NCLEX-RN

RN Licensure Requirements

Candidates must hold an ADN or BSN from an accredited nursing program, complete required clinical hours, pass a criminal background check, and present valid government-issued ID to register with Pearson VUE.

The exam is computer-adaptive and includes multiple-choice, select-all-that-apply, and case-study questions. Authorization to Test (ATT) is issued after the state NRB approves the application.

NCLEX-PN

LPN/LVN Licensure

Candidates holding a Practical Nursing diploma sit for the NCLEX-PN. Upon passing, they may pursue LPN-to-RN bridge programs and additional specialty certifications to advance their careers.

Board Certifications
We Verify

The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), the credentialing arm of the American Nurses Association (ANA), has set the standard for nursing specialty certification since 1990. ANCC credentials are nationally recognized markers of clinical expertise.

How Nurses Become
Certified Professionals

Certification is more than letters after a name. It validates a nurse's experience, education, and expertise through a formal credentialing process—and Nasokoma only places nurses who have completed this journey.

1

Earn an Accredited Nursing Degree

Nurses must graduate from a program accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) or the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN). Qualifying degrees include the ADN and BSN for RNs, with the BSN increasingly becoming the gold standard for hospital-based roles.

2

Pass the NCLEX and Obtain State Licensure

The NCLEX is a prerequisite for any nursing certification. An active, unrestricted RN or LPN license in good standing is required by all major certifying organizations before any specialty exam application can be submitted.

3

Accumulate Clinical Hours in the Specialty

Most certifying bodies require 1–2 years of full-time nursing experience and a defined number of specialty clinical hours—typically 2,000 hours within the past 3 years. This ensures certification reflects real-world competency, not just academic knowledge.

4

Complete Continuing Education

Most ANCC certifications require at least 30 hours of continuing education in the specialty area within the prior 3 years. These CE hours keep nurses current with evolving clinical practices and evidence-based care guidelines.

5

Pass the Certification Exam

Exams are administered year-round through Prometric testing centers across the U.S. ANCC exams are competency-based, incorporating the latest clinical practices. Upon passing, nurses are awarded their board certification credential, valid for 3–5 years depending on the specialty.

6

Renew and Maintain Certification

Certification renewal requires continued clinical hours, CE completion, and in some cases a recertification exam. Nasokoma actively tracks renewal status for all placed nurses and alerts facilities ahead of any credential expiration.

Credential Confidence, Guaranteed

Every nurse Nasokoma places is verified through primary source confirmation. Ask us about our credentialing process.

Healthcare Staffing Built
on Trust & Excellence

Nasokoma was founded with a singular mission: connect healthcare facilities with the most qualified, credentialed nurses in the world—and make that process as seamless as possible for everyone involved.

Who We Are

Nasokoma Healthcare Solutions is a specialized nursing staffing agency headquartered in Potomac, Maryland. We serve hospitals, health systems, outpatient clinics, long-term care facilities, and home health organizations across the United States.

Our team combines deep expertise in healthcare operations, clinical credentialing, and talent acquisition to deliver staffing solutions that go beyond résumé matching. We understand the compliance requirements, the staffing ratios, the certification standards, and most importantly—the stakes of patient care.

Unlike generalist staffing firms, we focus exclusively on nursing. That specialization allows us to maintain deeper talent networks, faster fulfillment timelines, and a more rigorous credentialing process than firms that spread resources across multiple industries.

Our Mission

To ensure that every patient, in every care setting, is cared for by a qualified, credentialed, and committed nursing professional—sourced through a process families and administrators can trust.

Our Values

  • Clinical Integrity
    We never place a nurse whose credentials, license, or clinical competency we haven't personally verified through primary sources.
  • Responsiveness
    Healthcare doesn't wait. Neither do we. Our team operates with urgency and accountability to fill critical nursing roles on your timeline.
  • Global Reach, Local Understanding
    We source nurses from around the world while deeply understanding U.S. state licensure requirements, facility cultures, and compliance standards.
  • Nurse Advocacy
    We treat our nurses as partners, not placements. Competitive compensation, transparent contracts, and dedicated support make Nasokoma the preferred home for top nursing talent.
