What is State Eligibility?
Programs in the School of Nursing must be recognized by the State Board of Nursing or an equivalent oversight body in each U.S. state or territory for Indiana State University nursing graduates to be eligible for licensure and practice in that state. Additionally, each U.S. state has its own approval process for out-of-state institutions that offer distance education.
The School of Nursing at Indiana State University endeavors to offer its programs to as wide an audience as possible. Factors involved when considering eligibility for various states include number of students, cost to the University for licensing/maintaining licensing for multiple faculty members in each state, and other fiscal factors. In some states, the extensive process to have a teaching presence is not feasible.
