Wilkes University understands the needs of working students, professionals, RNs and NPs and the challenge of achieving work-life balance. That’s why all our students, in all our nursing programs, can expect the same academic excellence and focused guidance as our on-campus nursing students.

From the start of your program, we connect you with your own Student Success Counselor who works with you every step of the way to ensure you have access to the resources needed to successfully start or advance your nursing degree. They are focused on your experience and success from initial enrollment all the way through graduation. Some of the ways they will support you include:

  • Advise you on your degree path

Out-of-State Students

Our online nursing degree programs prepare graduates to take the national board certification exam appropriate to their degree or chosen NP concentration. ABSN graduates are eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). Please see our full list of state authorizations to determine whether our program fulfills requirements for licensure in your home state. For the online ABSN program, your primary state of residence must be PA. Wilkes University will not be able to place any students who move to an unauthorized state before or during the program and this may impact your ability to continue with the program.

Primary State of Residence (PSOR)

Your PSOR is the state in which you declare as your primary residence for legal purposes. Sources used to verify your PSOR may include driver's license, federal income tax return, or voter registration. Only one state can be identified as the primary state of legal residence.
