Nursing is a licensed profession with nurses practicing according to state-specific provisions outlined in the Nursing Practice Act, Missouri Statutes Chapter 335, RSMO and Missouri Code of State Regulations 4CSR 200-1.010 to 4CSR 200-6.010.

Graduates of Cox College ASN and BSN degree programs are eligible to apply to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN^®). This is a computer-adapted examination and may be taken at testing centers locally and across the United States. Successful completion of this examination will allow the graduate to begin practicing as a registered nurse.

All applicants to Cox College are hereby notified that the Missouri State Board of Nursing may refuse to issue a license for specific reasons related to moral turpitude, intemperate use of alcohol or drugs, or conviction of a crime. (See State of Missouri Nursing Practice Act.)

Completion of the ASN or BSN degree does not guarantee eligibility to take the licensure examination.
