HOW ARE NURSES LICENSED?




Licensing Nurses from Ehow


  • After completing a nursing program at an accredited college or university, a nursing student must pass state boards to obtain a nursing license. The student will apply to the state government's licensing body and receive an application packet. The student will complete the application and submit it to the state with the required registration fee. (These fees vary in each state; see the link in Resources for specific information.) The student will then receive a test date to take the national licensing exam, the NCLEX. Before passing the state boards, a nurse may not work as an LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) or RN (Registered Nurse). A student who fails the licensing exam must wait 6 months to retake the exam.
