Students completing their ADN program with intentions of graduating in May must receive notification of passing the Nursing Licensure Exam (NCLEX) in order to begin the RN to BSN sequence at MCN in the fall. In place of a copy of your RN license, you may provide this notification as evidence of having passed the NCLEX. Once you receive a copy of your RN license you will submit that to the college.
