Essential Information. An RN license is a prerequisite for registered nurses to practice anywhere in the United States. Registered nurses must complete an associate or bachelor level nursing program before applying for licensure. The nursing licensure process for new RNs includes a computer-based exam called the NCLEX-RN.
Nursing credentials and certifications. Nursing credentials and certifications are the various credentials and certifications that a person must have to practice nursing legally. Nurses' postnominal letters (abbreviations listed after the name) reflect their credentialsâthat is, their achievements in nursing education, licensure, certification, and fellowship. Generally credentials are listed from most to least permanent. A degree, once earned, cannot, in normal circumstances, be taken away.
