    Really, only the Board of Nursing in Illinois can definitively answer your question.

    Some possibilities might be that you did not obtain a license with your degree, or that the Illinois BON does not accept credits from your PI university.

    Just guessing, which doesn't help you. Please go to the BON for factual answers.

    Many states do not require a local license before meeting the US state requirements. Have you checked IL BON website to see if you need a local license?

    Many states do not feel BSN training is sufficient for LPN licensing. LPN is a different scope and education path it's not a junior RN. In states including NJ, OK, TX only those graduated of LPN programs are eligible.

    But you are not eligible for LPN or RN in IL. As IL requires you to be licensed in your country of education

    Proof of licensure in your country of education shall be required as a part of the credentialing process.

    The application is here:
