Do states outright deny an application

Published

When a state is evaluating a transcript for nclex from cgfns or where ever, do they deny the application or do they request more schooling. I'm aware that you can be denied for issues such as concurrency, but can you be denied for anything else. How often do they point blank deny a application, is it more of sending them back to school or what please respond.

You can be denied if your transcripts are missing a specialty area like Paeds, Obstetrics etc or you do not have enough clinical and theory hours in the approved areas

Ok this is what I'm asking though, if your transcript is lacking hours in a certain specialty, do they deny it completly or do they give you the opportunity to get those hours in at a college in the state your applying to.

I' tried to find out from the Florida BON their required hours in the specialties but when i contacted them they said to get my transcrpit evaluated and have the agency send it to them. Do you by any chance know the minimum specialty hours required by Florida bon.

Hours vary from state to state but with 2 states I did ok with 75 hours clinical and theory in a couple of areas. They usually deny but give you the opp to do something about what is missing but will have to be from an approved school

the least hours I have in a clinical area is 80 clinical hours, and 120 for theory ,do you think these will suffice? thanks for your response
