Registered Nurse License Requirement

It is mandatory that each Master’s Program or Online RN-BSN Completion Program student maintains a current unrestricted Registered Nurse (RN) license during the entire program. Licensure must be current in relation to the State in which the student will be conducting practice experiences during the program of study.

Each DNP student must maintain a current unrestricted Registered Nurse (RN) license and, if applicable, an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) certification or licensure in the state where the practicum courses will be completed. Students are required to maintain an active RN licensure status to continue in their chosen degree program. Students should notify the Director of the Graduate Programs or the Director of the Online RN-BSN Program immediately if there is a change in licensure status; this includes: inactive status, probation, suspension, or reprimand.
