The required test currently is given only in the U.S. and its territories. USA Today reports that by offering the exam abroad, the licensing board hopes to make it easier for more foreign-born nurses to bring their careers here.
U.S. hospitals are desperate to fill more than 125,000 vacant nursing positions - a figure that's expected to triple in the coming decade, as baby boomers demand more health care services and fewer Americans go into nursing.

More than 23,000 foreigners took the U.S. nurse licensing examination last year, up from about 20,000 the year before, according to USA Today. Most came from the Philippines, India, Canada, Nigeria, Korea, the United Kingdom, and the countries that once belonged to the Soviet Union.
