List of State Nursing Boards that we often work with
Illinois Nursing Licensing
The Illinois Board of Nursing is responsible for licensing Registered Nurses (RNs) and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) in the state.
Illinois is not a member of the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC), therefore, nurses planning to work in Illinois must apply directly to the Board of Nursing for licensure.
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:
- IELTS Academic- computer or paper-based
- TOEFL iBT produced by Educational Testing Service (ETS)
- Michigan English Test (MET)
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.
