Certification is based on education.
All paperwork must be submitted and found satisfactory. If all documents are present and satisfactory and a temporary RN license has been issued, a temporary certificate may be issued. Once all documents have been received and found satisfactory, temporary certification may be issued within 24 hours. The applicant is encouraged to send for BSN and anesthesia program transcripts immediately, as a delay in the receipt of these by NSBN will hold up the processing of the application. Refer to NAC 632.515 in the Nurse Practice Act.
