As part of the application process, you must:
- Complete the application form, making sure to fill in all necessary information.
- Request that your school send an official transcript directly to the Board of Nursing OR request that the school send a letter directly to the Board confirming that you successfully completed the program. The letter will allow you to sit for the exam, but a final, official transcript must be received before licensure can be obtained.
- Submit the application form along with the fee and all needed supporting documents.
- Register with Pearson Vue to take the NCLEX exam. You should do this after sending in the licensure application.
