Examination

Prior to each examination, candidates are required to:

  • Submit an application to KSBN and the applicable fee
  • Register with PearsonVue
  • A new background check may be required if the previous results have expired.
  • An applicant, who fails to pass the examination more than two (2) years after graduation, but less than five (5) years after graduation, will need to submit a completed petition to the board for permission to take the examination. This must be done every time you need to test during this time frame.
    • An applicant who fails to pass the examination within 5 years of graduation can no longer submit a petition for retesting. They must retake a nursing program before permission will be given to retake the examination.
