licensing and accreditation

What is Nursing Licensing?

Nursing licensing is a mandatory process through which nurses obtain the legal authority to practice. Licensing ensures that nurses meet the necessary standards of education, competence, and ethical practice. In the United States, this process is overseen by individual state boards of nursing. To become licensed, nurses must typically complete an accredited nursing program and pass the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX).
