Tips & Warnings
Consider attending an accredited correspondence school like Excelsior College so you can earn your degree in less time. The program is comprehensive and economical. Always consult with the school or college you will attend upon completion of your mobility option exam. Some schools require additional prerequisites, while other schools offer a maximum amount of credits for students using this option. Reread your previous nursing materials to save money on practice guides for the test. The exam questions are an assessment of the skills you possess from your previous training.
Exams and other nursing materials may have additional costs. Rules and regulations change frequently so consult your state's department of professional regulation for additional information on licensing requirements. Always use precaution when sharing your information or conducting transactions online. Secure transactions do not guarantee that your information is safe.
