To be eligible for nursing licensure, candidates generally need to meet the following criteria:
1. Educational Qualifications: Completion of an accredited nursing program is a prerequisite. This could be a Diploma, Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN), or a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). 2. Examination: Passing the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) is mandatory for Registered Nurses (RNs) and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs). 3. Background Check: A criminal background check is usually required to ensure the candidate does not have a criminal history that would impede their ability to practice safely. 4. Application: Submission of a licensure application along with the required fee to the relevant Board of Nursing.
