Important Notice about Changes in NCE Retake Application Processing

NCE Retake Applications with cashier's checks or money orders will only be accepted if they are received in the NBCRNA office no later than December 22, 2011. After this date, all NCE retake applicants must go to the NBCRNA Online Certification Portal to submit electronic payment of the examination fee.

After the examination fee has been paid online, applicants must still submit the paper application form, copy of current RN license and the notarized Applicant Photo ID form (only for those who have not submitted a photo within the last calendar year) to the NBCRNA office before processing can begin.

Applicants who are not successful on the NCE will receive instructions on how to register to log on to the Online Certification Portal and how to use the secure site to pay the fee by major credit card, Paypal account, or e-check.
