Will board accept missing second first name on RN diploma?

Published

Hi, just a quick question. I have two first names and my school only put my first name, middle, and last. All spelled correctly, except they didnt include my second first name.

Will board still accept it once I apply for NCLEX?

Since the board can most likely only accept first, middle and last name just like the educational institution already did, why not go with that?

I'll be honest..I would request a diploma with my CORRECT legal name. That is going to cause you problems later and you'll always have to send in additional documentation, etc.

I would also call the BON and see how they wish for you to proceed for continuity.
