Nursing - MSN

Graduates of the Master of Science (MSN) program majors are eligible to apply to sit for the national certification exam in her/his respective MSN major. Also, graduates are eligible for licensure as advanced practice nurses (APRNs) in states and territories of the United States. Our MSN curriculum includes content based on the laws and regulations delineating the scope of practice for APRNs in Ohio. States other than Ohio may have more or less restrictive regulations.

If a graduate applies for APRN licensure in another state, the graduate may be asked to meet additional requirements based on the respective state’s or territory’s practice act and scope of practice for APRNs. You may have to take a rules or regulations course (CE or academic) if you practice/prescribe outside of Ohio, specific to the state in which you practice/prescribe.

Nursing - BSN

Graduates can apply to take the national NCLEX exam in any state and territories of the United States, upon successful completion of the BSN program. Guidelines for the application process to take the national NCLEX exam may vary by state.

Per federal regulation 34 CFR 668.43(c), institutions are required to provide direct notifications to current and prospective students:

Current Students

If an institution makes a determination that a program’s curriculum no longer meets State educational requirements for licensure or certification in a State in which a student who is currently enrolled in such program is located the institution must provide notice to the student within 14 calendar days of making such determination.

Prospective Students

If the institution has made the determination that a program’s curriculum does not meet State educational requirements for license or certification in a State in which a prospective student is located, notification must be provided to the student prior to enrollment into the program.

Through reasonable and good faith effort, research has been done to determine whether Case Western Reserve University's academic programs leading to professional licensure or certification meet the educational requirements per State.

For further information concerning educational requirements, current and prospective students are encouraged to visit their program's website.
