KBN does not approve out-of-state nursing education programs. KBN only approves and regulates prelicensure nursing education programs located in Kentucky. Kentucky DOES recognize graduates from prelicensure nursing education programs that are approved/accredited by other state boards of nursing as eligible to apply to take the NCLEX examination(s) and apply for licensure in Kentucky. An example of such a program is Excelsior College. The New York State Board of Nursing approves Excelsior College and graduates from that program may apply to take the NCLEX-RN examination in Kentucky. Out-of-state nursing education programs should be contacted directly for information specific to the program’s approval/accreditation status in the state of origin.
