“Don’t wait. Start preparing now.”

That’s Dr. Elbe Akman’s advice to international nurses considering a future career in the U.S. In conversation with Care Anywhere host Lea Sims, he makes the case for preparing before the next opportunity arrives.

Licensure and career mobility take time. Starting early can help nurses become professionally ready and better positioned to pursue opportunities as policies and workforce demand evolve.

“Passing NCLEX is not the only hurdle.”

For international nurses pursuing U.S. licensure, the exam is only one part of a much larger process. Dr. Elbe Akman, CEO/President of NEAC Medical Exams Application Center, joins host Lea Sims to discuss the time, cost, delays, and administrative burdens that can arise around the application and licensing process itself.

Those inefficiencies have consequences beyond the individual applicant. As Dr. Akman explains, they can delay qualified nurses from entering the workforce—ultimately affecting the patients the system is designed to serve.

In case you missed it: Learning about AI is easier than ever. Understanding what it means for your specific work? That’s a much bigger challenge.

Lauren Herckis and Emily Tse explore why building AI fluency in credential evaluation will require collaboration—not just access to more technology. By bringing together credentialing expertise and knowledge of AI capabilities, the field can develop learning opportunities that help professionals better understand how these tools apply to the challenges they face.

And collaboration needs champions. Emily highlights the role regulators and other leaders can play in advocating for and supporting the partnerships needed to move this work forward.

With 78% of the world's nurses serving less than half of the global population, disparities in workforce distribution continue to affect access to care around the world.

The 2025 Nurse Migration Report examines the forces driving these trends and outlines why coordinated workforce planning, ethical recruitment, and sustained investment are essential to building stronger health systems.
