Licensure

Registered nurse licensure without limitations in the state in which your clinicals will take place is prerequisite to a clinical practicum or research. This will mean that you will need a Kentucky R.N. license and a license for any out-of-state clinicals. This process can take up to a year for students educated outside of the United States. If you have not already initiated the process (which includes taking the CFNS exam and the NCLEX exam) it is imperative to begin immediately. Please speak with your faculty advisor if you are in this situation. You will be expected to provide the Office of Student Services with a copy of your license the semester prior to your clinical work.
