New York NCLEX Application – Nursing

New York NCLEX Application – Nursing

Step 1: Applying with the New York State Board of Nursing

New York NCLEX Application: You will need to turn in a paper application. This is the New York State Board’s Homepage. All information here is taken from that source.

Start Here: Go to the Licensure Forms/Application page and open ‘Form 1 – Application for Licensure.’ Follow its instructions closely.

They will charge you $143 with an option of $35 for the temporary permit. This is the State Board Fee.

Print out the application if you don’t have one. Instructions are included. Follow them closely.

In the next step, you’ll register with Pearson Vue.

Step 2: Register with Pearson Vue

You should read the NCLEX Candidate bulletin before registering and taking the test. It can be found on the NCSBN NCLEX Portal. From there, you should click on “Register” to register for the NCLEX.

Register for the NCLEX

Pearson Vue is also responsible for sending the Authorization to Test letter. They will only send it after receiving an approval from your State Board of Nursing (which you applied to in Step 1).

The registration fee will be $200 for students in the U.S.

Step 3: Receive your Authorization to Test (ATT) and Schedule your NCLEX Exam

You’ve successfully completed the dual application process. If your Board of Nursing application has been approved, your ATT will arrive by e-mail within 2 weeks after you register.

Remember, after you turn in all the materials, your State Board of Nursing (from Step 1) sends approval to Pearson Vue (from Step 2). Pearson Vue then sends the Authorization to Test. You can check the status of both applications.

Check the status of your New York Board of Nursing application here.

If it has been over 4 weeks since you mailed your application, and your name does not appear on the license verification page, or you have not received your ATT, you can contact the State Board at 518.474.3817 ext 280 or by e-mail at op4info@mail.nysed.gov

Once your Authorization to Test letter arrives, you can schedule your test from the Pearson Vue website.

If you need to check the status of your registration with Pearson Vue, or have ANY QUESTIONS at all, refer to the candidate bulletin.
