LICENSURE AND CERTIFICATION DISCLOSURE
What Students Need to Know About Professional Licensure
Many students attend college to earn a certificate and/or degree that prepares them for a specific field, such as professional nurse (RN), licensed practical nurse (LPN), or one of the many other occupations regulated by the State and/or other government entities. States and other government entities have established standards of practice for the occupations or professions they have chosen to regulate. They provide legal permission to practice those professions only to individuals who meet those standards. This is called professional licensure: professions for which people need to meet certain criteria in order to practice in that field.
Programs with Licensure Requirements
Larkin School of Nursing’s Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) program requires licensure for employment as a registered nurse in the State of Florida. Information about the licensure requirements in the State can be found here: Florida Board of Nursing
If you are planning to apply for professional licensure/certification outside of the State of Florida, please contact that State's licensing board to determine whether Larkin’s program meets the professional licensure/certification requirements in that State.
