I am almost done with my nursing program and they recently told us we will not be allowed to register for the NCLEX for another State although many of us live outside the state in which the program was offered.
I currently live in Texas and attend a out of state nursing program. The program is telling us that they will not allow us to register for the NCLEX for the state in which we reside. Is this possible for them to put on such restrictions?? I have 2 more courses left to take then headed for my Hesi exit exam, Please anyone with any advise?
The school does not submit your application. You have to submit the application for licensure to the BON of whatever state you want to be licensed in. Part of the licensing application is provision of transcripts from your college/university. If they fail to provide your paperwork as requested you may be able to pursue legal action.
It's also possible that they recently lost their accreditation and because they know the other states won't accept the curriculum, this is how they get around the students finding out.
They told us they will have us fill out our portion and they will submitted everything once done to ensure we are filing for Florida state boards. It definitely looks like I may have to take legal action.
Again, I thank eveyone for the advice, wither I choose to disclose the program name should not matter. I asked for advice on a particular situation and am very grateful for the response. Respect my decision to not want to disclose that until I am ready to do so.
