Completed application, and
Current, active, unrestricted, Registered
Nurse (RN) license in the U.S. or Canada at the time of application, and

After we receive your application, fees and required documentation,

Once eligibility is determined, you will be notified by Applied Measurement Professionals (AMP) with
both an email and postcard. The PNCB also sends an email and a postcard notifying the candidate
of their assigned 90-day testing period so that the nurse can make an exam appointment.
On-Site candidates will receive an email and postcard notification informing them of their assigned
testing date(s) and location.
