ACI welcomes prospects with Foreign BSN degrees. Original documents must be submitted for evaluation. If the foreign BSN degree is equivalent to a U.S. Bachelor of Science in Nursing, an interview with Dr. Diony Antigua or Dr. Jose Antigua will be scheduled for counseling on options, including applying to the Florida Board of Nursing for permission to take the NCLEX exam; while ACI can assist with questions, this process is outside our scope.
