Diploma/ certificate after NCLEX

Published

Hi,

is there a diploma or certificate that you receive after you pass NCLEX?

I am not talking about the pocket card. I mean something that I can put up in a frame.

Maybe its different in every state, I am in Georgia.

PA has a half-sheet paper license that looks just like any other business license that would fit in a small (5x7?) frame. I have it in my job-search portfolio with my extra resumes, just in case.

I believe that even the states that have "gone paperless" still offer a decorative license that can be framed and displayed, if you ask them. Have you checked with the GA BON? Looked at their website?

Thanks for the replies. I emailed BON and this is what they answered: as of 2012 our offices no longer issue a blue pocket card certificate unless you specifically request one for $25. You may print a copy of your license at any time from the following website..

So I dont think they know what I am referring too.

Most schools give the wall diploma/certificate. Check with your school, if that's what you're looking for since its not the license. I've never heard of any state issuing a portrait sized license. But just because I have never heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist

They do know exactly what you are referring to. They only issue the paper license for an additional fee. Otherwise frame the diploma from nursing school.
