The curricula for programs leading to licensure at Edgewood College are

fingerprinting, etc. Students who intend to return or move to any state other than
Wisconsin need to review the professional licensure disclosures pertaining to

professional licensing boards make the ultimate decision as to whether an
individual will be eligible to sit for licensure based on the rules and regulations in
place at the time the individual submits their application for licensure.

Wisconsin DSPS statement related to APNP students
Pre-Credential Education Information
Must be certified by a national certifying body approved by the Board as a nurse
practitioner, certified nurse-midwife, certified registered nurse anesthetist or clinical
nurse specialist.
For applicants who receive national certification as a nurse practitioner, certified nurse-
midwife, certified registered nurse anesthetist or clinical nurse specialist after July 1,
1998, the registered nurse must hold a master's or doctoral degree in nursing or a
related health field granted by a college or university accredited by a regional
accrediting agency approved by the board of education in the state in which the college
or university is located.
Because each state’s requirements vary regarding APNP licensure, to earn an
