State-Specific Licensure Requirements
While Elmhurst University can provide initial guidance, it is ultimately the student’s responsibility to continually check the state where you intend to seek licensure and to confirm all licensing requirements. Some states will require additional licensure requirements which could include an application, post-graduate examinations, background checks, licensing fees, etc.
View a list of all states and whether Elmhurst University Department of Nursing and Health Sciences curriculum meets educational requirements necessary for graduates of the prelicensure programs to be eligible for licensure in that state.
Please contact your program advisor with any further questions.
