Queries regarding Missouri Board of nursing

Published

Hello Everyone,

I am foreign educated nurse and planning to apply for Missouri board of nursing.I have been doing research regarding the requirements that this state requires but getting different information from the customer service while I call to state board.Is there any foreign educated nurse applying for MO?Do you know if this state need english language proficiency if the schooling was done in english?While I called the state board some says I need to,some says if my schooling was done in english I dont need to..I am so confused.I dont want any delay in my application but these people are making me confused.Anyone knows anything about it?Suggestion will be highly appreciated.One more thing does MO state board needs one high school diploma to be evaluated?As far as I know it doesnt..

Thankyou

Hello Missourigal!

I just want to asked you question regarding your NCLEX application. Do still remember how long did you wait for the Missouri BON to evaluate your application and send you a letter that you are eligible to take the NCLEX?

It was not so long. I forgot the exact time but once the application was approved, it only took 1day to send the ATT.
