Licensure as a Registered Nurse
Students who enter a program as a licensed registered nurse must present their nursing licenses to the Program Coordinator of the School of Nursing, or their designee, prior to their first clinical practica. When relevant, it is the student’s responsibility to provide evidence of license renewal at the time of its expiration. Direct Entry students must present their licenses as soon as they are issued by the Board of Registration in Nursing. All RN licenses must be unrestricted. Students may be required to apply for reciprocity in states to satisfy other clinical agency requirements. A student must pass NCLEX before they can enter their first advanced clinical placement.
