Bradley clinicals in every state
Bradley University's online nurse practitioner students train where they live, so the state shapes the plan. Start with Illinois and the five neighbors, then open your state for Bradley's table answer for each NP specialty, the license you need for clinicals there, and how nurse practitioner precepting works locally.

What travels with you across state lines
Bradley's state table says its FNP meets licensure requirements in 49 states and its PMHNP, AGACNP and AGPCNP in 46; Tennessee is the one state with no NP track, and California, Maryland and New Hampshire are FNP only. New York residents can enroll, but their clinicals and DNP projects happen outside New York. Bradley also expects an active RN license in the state where you train, and clinicals in the approved state you were admitted from or live in.
The state disclosures guide reads the table line by line, and the relocation guide covers a move in the middle of the program.

Questions Bradley students ask
Does Bradley enroll online nursing students from every state?
Bradley's table rates each NP specialty state by state rather than listing states it closes to enrollment. A "does not meet" answer means the track may not lead to licensure there, so residents of Tennessee, California, Maryland and New Hampshire should confirm with Bradley before applying to an affected track.
Is Illinois in the Nurse Licensure Compact?
No. Illinois has not joined the compact, so an Illinois RN license is single-state. Bradley students living in Illinois need a separate license for clinicals across the line in Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana or Kentucky, and a multistate license from those states does not reach Illinois.
Are the leadership programs in Bradley's state table?
No. The online nursing table covers the four nurse practitioner specialties only. The MSN Nursing and Healthcare Leadership and the DNP Nursing Leadership are not listed, and no Bradley page says whether they lead to licensure.
What if I move to another state during the program?
Bradley's handbook asks you to tell your academic advisor or the department chair before a new semester begins when you move to an unapproved state or plan clinicals in a bordering state. The state's rules and your license there shape what happens next.

We check these pages against Bradley's own catalog, online program pages and Graduate Student Handbook. Your clinical packet, course faculty and academic advisor have the final word.
Bradley lets you choose your preceptors. We find the ones worth choosing.
Tell us your Bradley track, your city and your next practicum course. We line up preceptors who fit the NUR course and gather the license, CV and malpractice details the DocuSign packet asks for, well before the midterm of the semester before you start.
- Preceptors matched to the course: primary care for FNP and AGPCNP, acute care teams for AGACNP, mental health settings for PMHNP
- Preceptor license, CV, malpractice coverage and the site address ready for the packet
- Every practicum in your sequence planned together, close to home in your approved state
