Navigating the path to becoming a Registered Nurse (RN) in Illinois involves understanding the detailed requirements and procedures outlined in the DPR RN form. This comprehensive document serves as a guide through the application process, whether you are seeking licensure through examination, endorsement, or restoration. For those aiming to practice nursing with the highest standards of care, the form outlines the mandatory submission of all supporting documentation alongside the application and the required fee. This protocol is in alignment with the Illinois Nurse Practice Act, aimed at ensuring the safety and health of the public by regulating the competence and integrity of nursing professionals. The form provides thorough instructions for candidates educated within the U.S. and its territories as well as those educated abroad, addressing unique stipulations for each. Additionally, the form specifies the importance of criminal background checks, the protocol for submitting credentials in foreign languages, and details regarding fees and timelines for application processing. For RN licenses, expiration occurs on May 31st of every even-numbered year, necessitating timely renewals. Moreover, for international applicants, there are specific guidelines for credential evaluation and English proficiency verification. This document also mentions the unique position of graduates from unaccredited programs like Excelsior College, requiring additional review to ensure applicants meet Illinois' rigorous nursing standards.
