Individuals who may not take a nursing course with a clinical component

655 Iowa Administrative Code 2.5(5) requires that we notify students and prospective students that nursing courses with a clinical component may not be taken by a person:

  • who has been denied licensure by the Iowa Board of Nursing;
  • whose license is currently suspended, surrendered or revoked in any U.S. jurisdiction;
  • whose license/registration is currently suspended, surrendered, or revoked in another country due to disciplinary action.

Individuals seeking enrollment or currently enrolled in nursing programs who are not eligible to take a course with a clinical component because of disciplinary action in any state should contact the Iowa Board of Nursing Enforcement Unit at (515) 281-6472 as soon as possible.
