Obtaining your Nursing License

After satisfactorily completing your Practical Nursing Program requirements, qualified students are eligible to apply for the National Nurse National Council Licensing Exam for Practical Nursing (NCLEX-PN).  After passing the PN exam, students are eligible to apply for licensure in all states.  There is a cost associated with this examination and a fee from the Minnesota Board of Nursing.

If you have any legal or medical questions regarding your potential for meeting the Board of Nursing requirements for licensure or your potential to practice professional nursing, contact the Minnesota Board of Nursing directly at 612-617-2270, or http://www.nursingboard.state.mn.us.
