Responsibility of Students

Students should review the specific academic requirements for the program in which they are enrolling, including those related to practicum/internship as well as pre-qualifications for licensure. Hawai‘i CC highly recommends that students contact the applicable licensure board(s) in their state of residence or in the state where they intend to obtain a license before beginning an academic program that results in licensure and prior to beginning any internship/practicum.

Relocating during the course of a program to another state may impact if the student can remain in the program, meet the state licensure requirements and/or continue to receive federal funding. Prior to considering relocation, Hawai‘i CC encourages students to research the requirements of the state to which they intend to relocate.

Licensure boards may require more than successful degree completion to obtain a license. Please be advised that state laws, regulations, and policies may change at any time. Changes in requirements can impact the program’s ability to meet educational requirements for licensure.

Hawai‘i CC endeavors to make a reasonable effort to determine student eligibility for licensure. However, due to the ever-changing nature of statues, rules, and regulations of the varying states/territories, the below list cannot be considered a guarantee for licensure. Students are strongly encouraged to contact their local state board of nursing for the most up to date eligibility requirements.

As a resource, the National Council of State Boards of Nursing posts board of nursing professional licensure requirements for all US states and jurisdictions. Contact the respective State Board of Nursing to verify.
