Demand continues to grow across Montana and the United States for educated and highly skilled nursing professionals. Carroll’s nursing program educates, trains, and prepares you to take and pass the national licensure exam (NCLEX) and begin your nursing career path ready to work and make a difference.
Montana is one of 42 states that belong to the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC). The NCSBN states, "The NLC increases access to care while maintaining public protection at the state level. Under the NLC, nurses can practice in other NLC states without having to obtain additional licenses."
When you earn your BSN degree from Carroll’s nursing program and pass the NCLEX, you can legally work in Montana as a Registered Nurse (RN) and in 42 other states if you submit a multi-state license application.
State nursing regulatory boards outline standards for safe nursing care and issue licenses to practice nursing, which may vary by state. Students with the intent of returning or moving to any state other than Montana prior to taking their NCLEX should be aware of the unique requirements for that state.
