NH· Nursing licensure & NCLEX prep
NCLEX practice questions for New Hampshire nurses & students
New Hampshire's Board of Nursing sits within the state's Office of Professional Licensure and Certification (OPLC), a consolidated agency that houses many of the state's professional boards. New Hampshire is a Nurse Licensure Compact state, so nurses who make New Hampshire their primary residence can hold a multistate license and practice across compact-state lines. The state's nursing programs blend a public university pathway at UNH with private and Catholic-affiliated colleges that supply hospitals throughout the Seacoast, Merrimack Valley, and North Country.
