Licensure Disclosures
The Providence College (PC) Department of Nursing offers a baccalaureate nursing program that leads to licensure by state professional boards. Since the requirements of state boards and licensing agencies vary from state to state, it is important that students, including prospective students, review the latest state licensure requirements as a nurse prior to applying to or enrolling in the PC nursing program. Completion of the PC nursing program does not guarantee eligibility for state licensure or receipt of a license.
An indication is provided below regarding whether PC’s program meets a state’s licensure requirements, does not meet a state’s licensure requirements, or if PC Nursing has not yet made a determination whether our BSN program meets a state’s licensure requirements.
For instances where PC has not yet made a determination whether the BSN program meets a state’s licensure requirements, please contact the state agencies listed in the table below or contact Nursing Department Chair, Dr. Nancy Meedzan, at nmeedzan@providence.edu for assistance.
Please be advised, students should consult the chart below and the applicable licensing authority in the state in which they expect to work in order to confirm that PC’s BSN accreditation and curriculum meet the state’s eligibility requirements for registered nurse licensure.
