Nursing Licensure Exams Disclosure
When the student graduates from Premiere International College nursing programs the student is eligible to apply for the NCLEX-PN or NCLEX-RN licensure examination in Florida. The student must pass the NCLEX exam to qualify for employment as a licensed practical or registered nurse. For additional requirements please refer to http://floridasnursing.gov/. The graduate must pass the exam to qualify for employment as a licensed practical or registered nurse.
To be eligible for licensure by examination in the state of Florida, the graduate must:
Certification by a physician, physician’s assistant, or A.R.N.P. that you are in good mental and physical health.
Prior to application for examination, convicted felons must obtain a restoration of their civil rights or they are ineligible to sit for the examination.
If you have been convicted of any offense other than minor traffic violation, you must submit arrest and court records stating the nature of the offense and final disposition of the case so that a determination can be made by the Florida Board of Nursing whether the offense is related to the practice of nursing or the ability to practice nursing. Any convicted felons must submit proof of restoration of civil rights, or they are ineligible for licensure.
You must inform the Florida Board of Nursing in writing of any change in the information provided on your license application if a change occurs prior to licensure.
You may practice as a “graduate practical nurse” or “graduate nurse” if:
You provide evidence from the department of Health, Florida Board of Nursing to your employer that you are eligible to write, or have written, the examination and that you are eligible to practice nursing as a “graduate practical nurse” or “graduate nurse”.
As a “graduate practical nurse” or “graduate nurse”, you may only practice under the direct supervision of a registered professional nurse.
If you fail the first or any subsequent examination, you will be unable to practice as a “graduate practical nurse” or “graduate nurse” again until you pass the licensing examination.
In the event that you successfully repeat and graduate from a second course of study in an approved nursing program, you may be granted “graduate practical nursing” or “graduate nurse” status when reapplying to take the licensure examination.
You will be taking the National Council Licensure Examination for practical nurses or registered nurses as applicable.
