Grad Entry students may take the NCLEX to become a registered nurse when all required pre-licensure nursing courses have been completed at the end of the fifth semester or session of full-time study. Passing the exam results in licensure in Ohio. Applications for endorsement licensure in other states can be made to those states’ Boards of Nursing; however, some states may not endorse the license until M.S. in Nursing requirements are completed.
Visit the Ohio Board of Nursing’s website for more information on single state and multistate licensure.
