Congratulations! You’ve chosen a career in healthcare. Your training, skills, and credentials can position you in a hospital around the corner or earning an advanced degree at a university on the other side of the world. At a time when global health systems are challenged with health worker shortages, your knowledge and skills are in great demand. At TruMerit, our portfolio of services is designed to help you navigate the complexities of credentials verification and evaluation, academic admission, and specialty certification. But we also provide lifelong resourcing across your career to support your goals for professional development and career advancement. We have nearly 50 years of expertise to support you, so this is the best place to start.

The new, merit-based credential is available to any qualified nurse—from any country—to recognize their competencies, regardless of where they choose to live and work.
The April 2025 Convening on Credential Evaluation and Patient Safety was born from this commitment—a recognition that safeguarding patient well-being begins long before a clinician steps into a hospital or clinic. It begins with how foreign-educated health professionals are evaluated, supported, and empowered to serve the people they care for.
Join us for this roundtable webinar as we unpack the insights and outcomes of the 2025 State of the World’s Nursing Report and explore the implications and opportunities with key thought leaders from global diaspora nursing associations. What key takeaways are these leaders discussing within their organizations?
The 2024 Nurse Migration Report synthesizes data and trends from the past year to provide a comprehensive picture of the global movement of nurses and other healthcare workers, with a particular focus on the United States as a leading destination for foreign-educated professionals.
After nearly 50 years of supporting the career mobility of foreign-educated nurses and other health workers, TruMerit is embarking on a new journey.
Begin your
journey here.
No matter where you want to work in the world, validating your skills and training will be critical to your professional opportunities. If you are a first-level, general nurse, the best pace to start is with a global credential that can support your employability and mobility. Our Certified Global Nurse (CGN) credential for general nursing is designed on a competency framework built from 37 international competency frameworks and developed by experts from 70+ countries. Licensure plus global certification can open doors and propel your career.
Whether you’re looking for work in your country or another country, you’ll need to understand the process for meeting regulatory compliance and professional licensure requirements. You might need additional training or formal education. You may need to brush up on your language proficiency skills. Or you might benefit from additional certifications to demonstrate your clinical competency. We can guide you through the right steps and requirements.
The entry-to-practice requirements for nurses and healthcare workers vary greatly from country to country and region to region (or state to state). Make sure you study the credentials verification/evaluation, language proficiency, academic assessment, and employment history requirements that are specific to the country and region/state where you are applying for employment or academic admission.
From graduation through retirement, your career trajectory will be shaped by continuing education and professional development. We can point you to job readiness and career advancement resources that will enable you to stay at the forefront of healthcare delivery and care model evolution. Whether you need to prepare for a job interview or earn CEUs for recertification, we can connect you.
