Zimbabwean nurses barred from writing life changing exam
In a recent development, nurses from Zimbabwe have been barred from taking the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) in the United States due to trade restrictions imposed by the US Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
Zimbabwe is one of the sanctioned countries whose residents are not allowed to participate in the NCLEX, a federal requirement for obtaining a nursing license in the US.
