- An individual who has successfully completed a nursing program equivalent to a LPN or RN in a foreign country and who has moved to the United States but has not taken a licensure exam cannot work as a nurse.

The individual may contact the registry for a manual skills evaluator in their area.
The individual may contact a community college to see if the college has an approved manual skills evaluator.
The individual may take an Illinois approved CNA training program and take the written competency test. A list of approved CNA training programs is on this Web site.
The evaluator will complete a Manual Skills Evaluation Form and mail it to the registry.
Once the evaluator’s form is received, the registry will verify that the individual passed the manual skills test, meets the background check requirements, and has no administrative findings before mailing a form to register for the competency test.
o Pass a written competency test.*
*Pass a written competency test. Currently the written competency test is a requirement for certification.
• Southern Illinois University at Carbondale (SIU-C) administers the written portion of the competency exam at various sites throughout the state. The SIU-C testing Web site (see RESOURCES in right-hand column) offers a practice exam, a study guide, and test site locations.
• SIU-C transmits the test results to the registry electronically.
• If the individual fails the competency test three times, he or she must take another Illinois approved CNA training program before taking the written test again.
