  1. Hi. Is it true that NY eligibility doesn’t expire? If so, is it also true that I have to re apply the eligibility if I haven’t taken the exam after 5 years? Hope you can help me. I can’t seem to find the answers online and I am not sure who to contact regarding this. Thanks!

    • Eligibility: Does Not Expire:
      New York eligibility for Registered Nurse (RN) licensure does not have a strict expiration date.

      Reapplication Requirement:
      If you haven’t taken the NCLEX-RN exam after an extended period (e.g., 5 years), you may need to reapply or update your application to ensure credentials are current.
      Contact NYSED:

    How long does it take to receive the eligibility? I completed my requirements last November 2023 and I haven’t receive any update yet. Thank you.
