Transcripts serve multiple purposes in the nursing profession:
Licensure: Most state boards of nursing require official transcripts to verify that applicants have met the educational requirements for licensure. Employment: Employers often request transcripts to confirm a candidate’s educational background and ensure they have the necessary training and knowledge. Further Education: If a nurse wishes to pursue advanced degrees such as a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) or a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP), transcripts are essential for admission to these programs.
