PA BON Requirements

Published

I am an out of state nursing student in IL and wish to apply to PA nursing board to take the NCLEX in PA. PA requires fingerprinting for out of state students, but I cannot find the service code for IdentoGo to use. I tried contacting the BON for help, but no one has gotten back with me. Does anyone know what service code should be used so that my fingerprint cards will go to the PA state nursing board?

Thank you!

I have not gotten my ATT. I emailed the board twice a month ago and two weeks ago with no response. My application still says pending review, so I don't know what to do. My driver's license has always been PA even when I went to school in IL, so I don't know why it is taking so long for me. I even contacted my school to see if they sent the education verification form, which they did. I am really at a loss...

hey I am in the same boat. Do you live in pa right now you should contact your state rep. I went to school in ny this has been a nightmare for me.

Hey:

PA states ACT 31 requires a 3hr Child Abuse Recognition and Reporting course for initial licensure then 2 hr course with each license renewal for health care professionals, funeral directors, those working with children. One is available online for free from Pennsylvania Child Welfare Resource Center--course results automatically sent to BON. Nothing gets approved until BON receives report CE completed.

State Representatives and constituents work on behalf of residents in their district AND on behalf of employers in their area. If you have a job offer already in PA, you could contact Senator for facility area. Otherwise, they often will not respond to out of state citizens.
