Nebraska
Nebraska Board of Nursing
Nebraska is a Nurse Licensure Compact state. Licensure is administered by the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services.
Requirements, fees, and forms change frequently. Always confirm directly with the official Nebraska board before applying or paying fees.
We do not collect fees. Use official sites.
Pathway does not handle regulator payments. Do not pay agents who ask you to transfer fees into personal bank accounts. Submit applications, credential evaluations, and payments only on the official regulator website. If an agent cannot demonstrate access to your actual regulator portal, walk away.
- Regulator payments only go to the regulator — never a "representative".
- Real regulators publish fees and forms openly on their own sites.
- No official body "guarantees" visas, jobs, or licences.

How the Nebraska NCLEX path usually runs.
Board-specific details vary — this is the general order most internationally-educated nurses follow.
- 1
Confirm board acceptance of your credentials
Read the Nebraska board's page on international applicants. Decide whether CGFNS or a state-specific evaluation applies to you.
- 2
Order credential evaluation
If required, open your CGFNS CES (or state-specific) account. Documents flow directly from your nursing school and board to the evaluator.
- 3
Submit Nebraska board application + fee
Apply through the board's official portal. Pay the state licensure fee. Do not pay agents on behalf of the board.
- 4
Register for NCLEX with Pearson VUE
After the board approves you, register with Pearson VUE and pay the NCLEX fee. Wait for the Authorization to Test (ATT) email.
- 5
Sit NCLEX
NCLEX testing in Africa is currently in Nairobi (Kenya) and Johannesburg (South Africa) — confirm the current list on NCSBN before booking. Your ATT window is typically 90 days.
- 6
Receive licence + start VisaScreen
The Nebraska board issues the RN licence after you pass. VisaScreen (separate from NCLEX) is required for most US work visas.
Nebraska official source
The Nebraska Board of Nursing is the sole authority for RN licensure in Nebraska. Any third-party directory (including this one) should be verified against their website before you pay.
Pathway provides guidance only. We are not an immigration lawyer, a nursing regulator, or a visa agent. Outcomes depend on regulators and authorities, not on us.
