RN to BSN Requirements in Nevada

RN Licensure: Online RN to BSN degrees are classified as “post-licensure” programs. Nevada universities will want you to have—or be in the process of earning—an RN license. If you’re still waiting to sit the NCLEX exam, you may still be able to apply. For example:

  • UNR’s 100% Online RN-BSN will consider students who are enrolled in the final 2 semesters of an associate degree program.
  • NSU’s 100% Online RN to BSN states that recent graduates must obtain their RN license within 7 weeks of acceptance.

Questions about Nevada RN licensure can be directed toward the Nevada State Board of Nursing. The Board also posts recent NCLEX Pass Rates for Nevada Schools. These statistics don’t cover post-licensure programs, but we always like to look at them to gauge the overall quality of a School of Nursing.

State Authorization: Do you live outside of Nevada? Before you begin filling in forms, just double-check that you’re eligible to apply. Because of state authorization rules, some Nevada Online RN to BSN programs may not be able to accept certain RNs. For example, NSU’s 100% Online RN to BSN has some state exceptions.
