List of State Nursing Boards that we often work with
South Carolina Nursing Licensing
The South Carolina Board of Nursing is responsible for licensing Registered Nurses (RNs) and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) in the state.
South Carolina is a member of the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC). Under the NLC:
- Nurses who hold a multistate license issued by another NLC member state can practice in South Carolina without applying for additional licensure.
- If a nurse moves to South Carolina and declares it as their primary state of residence, they must apply for a South Carolina multistate license.
Licensure Application Requirements:
- ERES Nursing License Evaluation
- If nursing courses and textbooks were not taught in English, you must provide proof of English language proficiency by submitting results from one of the following exams:
- TOEFL computer or paper-based
Important Notice:
State Boards of Nursing may change their requirements at any time. We always strive to keep our information updated but consult the respective Board for confirmation is strongly recommended.
