The essential problem in the immigration of foreign nurse graduates (FNGs) to the United States is their poor incidence of success in meeting state licensure requirements. Factors responsible for the low success rate include nonfamiliarity with multiple-choice format in tests, lack of English proficiency, and anxiety. This study gathered information regarding FNGs' experience in taking state board examinations and demonstrated relationships between factors identified above and scores obtained by FNGs on achievement tests developed according to the American Nurses' Association Blueprint for Licensing Examination for R.N. Licensure.
外国护士毕业生（FNGs）移民到美国的一个关键问题是，他们在满足州执照要求方面的成功率很低。导致成功率低的因素包括不熟悉考试中的选择题形式、英语不熟练以及焦虑。本研究收集了有关外国护士毕业生参加州委员会考试经历的信息，并证明了上述因素与外国护士毕业生在根据美国护士协会注册护士执照考试蓝图开发的成绩测试中获得的分数之间的关系。
