Why should you apply?
Since 1941, Michigan Language Assessment has helped people achieve their education and career goals by providing trusted English language assessments that draw on the expertise of the University of Michigan and Cambridge University Press & Assessment, part of the University of Cambridge.
Our fastest-growing assessment, the Michigan English Test (MET) is a multilevel proficiency test that assesses your English, not your ability to take tests. MET maintains the critical standards for communication needed for you to thrive in the real world. Our focus on high standards, relevance to real-life situations, and straightforward preparation sets you up to make the most of life-changing opportunities. MET is accepted by over 25 U.S. boards of nursing and in 46 states through the Nursing Licensure Compact (NLC). It is also accepted by HRSA to apply for occupational visas to work in the U.S. and by CGFNS, Josef Silny & Associates, and other agencies to process your application.
Health Carousel International has connected the best global healthcare talent with rewarding U.S. nursing careers for over 20 years. As a leading international nurse recruitment agency that has successfully sponsored over 3,000 healthcare professionals and their families, Health Carousel International can help you explore new opportunities and advance your nursing career.
Health Carousel’s extensive network of healthcare facilities and premier job opportunities have earned the title of the Largest International Staffing Firm in the United States by Staffing Industry Analysis (SIA).
We are proud to be certified by leading organizations like The Alliance for Ethical International Recruitment Practices (CGFNS), and we actively contribute to raising the bar for ethical recruitment practices.
Ten Stages of Our USA Nursing Career Program

Complete a program application online. We’ll let you know if you are a good fit for the program.

One of our authorized English language training centers will schedule a free English placement test with you — the Michigan-EPT.

A Health Carousel International representative will contact you to provide details on becoming a registered nurse in the USA, your USA career opportunities, and the program's obligations.

Several weeks of free online English training ensures you have the language skills required to succeed on the required exam and to work as a nurse in the USA. Retaking the Michigan-EPT at the English training’s conclusion will show how much you’ve improved!

You must pass an English language exam, such as the MET, to work as a nurse in the USA. Our program provides free MET test prep and registration!

You must pass the NCLEX USA nurse licensure exam. Our program provides free NCLEX test prep, paid exam registration, and money for travel if needed. Upon passing NCLEX, we’ll process and pay for all necessary government filings.

Health Carousel International schedules you to interview with great healthcare organizations in the USA that match your skills with your location and work setting preferences.

While awaiting the finalization of your work authorization, you’ll participate in free online training to keep your English sharp, prepare you for nursing and life in the USA.

You’re so close! At this stage you will wait for the issuance of your USA VisaScreen and nursing license for the USA state where you’ll be working. The excitement is building!

Welcome to the USA! An arrivals specialist will greet you at your assignment location and spend two to three days helping you settle into your new home and community. You’ll receive temporary housing, money to purchase household items, and a new cell phone.
