OKLAHOMA BOARD OF NURSING

Information for Bulletins and Catalogues

of Nursing Education Programs

The Oklahoma State University Institute of Technology nursing program is approved by the Oklahoma Board of Nursing. Graduates of this state-approved program are eligible to apply to write the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) for registered nurses. Applicants for Oklahoma licensure must meet all state and federal requirements to hold an Oklahoma license to practice nursing. In addition to completing a state approved nursing education program that meets educational requirements and successfully passing the licensure examination, requirements include submission of an application for licensure, a criminal history records search including fingerprinting, and evidence of citizenship or qualified alien status [59 O.S. §§567.5 & 567.6]. To be granted a license, an applicant must have the legal right to be in the United States (United States Code Chapter 8, Section 1621). In addition, Oklahoma law only allows a license to be issued to U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, and legal permanent resident aliens. Other qualified aliens may be issued a temporary license that is valid until the expiration of their visa status, or if there is no expiration date, for one year. Applicants who are qualified aliens must present to the Board office, in person, valid documentary evidence of:

A valid, unexpired immigrant or nonimmigrant visa status for admission into the United States;
A pending or approved application for asylum in the United States;
Admission into the United States in refugee status;
A pending or approved application for temporary protected status in the United States;
Approved deferred action status; or
A pending application for adjustment of status to legal permanent resident status or conditional resident status.

The Board has the authority to deny a license, recognition or certificate; issue a license, recognition or certificate with conditions and/or an administrative penalty; or to issue and otherwise discipline a license, recognition or certificate to an individual with a history of criminal background, disciplinary action on any professional or occupational license or certification, or judicial declaration of mental incompetence [59 O.S. §567.8]. These cases are considered on an individual basis at the time application for licensure is made. Potential applicants to state approved education programs, with a criminal history, may obtain a determination of eligibility for licensure or certification from the Oklahoma Board of Nursing for a fee. The Petition for Determination of Eligibility for Licensure or Certification form can be accessed at: https://oklahoma.gov/nursing/criminal-history.html

Licensing Guidelines for Out-of-State Residents

The OSUIT nursing program is approved by the Oklahoma Board of Nursing. Graduates of this state-approved program are eligible to apply to write the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) for registered nurses. Applicants for Oklahoma licensure must meet all state and federal requirements to hold an Oklahoma license to practice nursing. Oklahoma licensing requirements, including residency requirements, can be found at:http://nursing.ok.gov/.
Oklahoma is additionally a member of the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) which enables graduates of the OSUIT nursing program to seek a multistate license allowing practice in all NLC member states. For more information about the NLC including a map of current member states, please visit: https://www.ncsbn.org/nurse-licensure-compact.htm. For students residing in non-NLC member states it will be the student’s responsibility to review education and licensing requirements for those states as requirements vary.
