    Health care administration is NOT a nursing program, and I can’t believe Uni. of Phoenix wouldn’t tell you that. Or maybe you just assumed and didn’t ask. You need a degree in Nursing to be eligible to take NCLEX.

    You cannot get your RN license through an entirely online program except in really rare circumstances where you were an EMT or something else medical related. There is always required seat-time, practicum labs, clinical experiences you must spend so many hours in for the nursing program to be accredited. Find the Hawaii State Board of Nursing and somewhere on their website should be a list of accredited nursing programs in your state.

    Once you complete a nursing program, then yes, you take the NCLEX and earn your license and are ready to work.

    Oh, and don’t throw away your money to a for-profit school like Uni. of Phoenix. Find a state community college or public university, tuition will be far less and you’ll get more individualized attention.
