This form and the required supporting documentation must be submitted in a sealed envelope attached to the graduate’s Massachusetts Nurse Licensure by exam application and mailed to Professional Credential Services, Inc.

Pre-Check is affiliated with Sentry MD, which does the actual health record tracking. The cost to the student for this service is $29.50 one-time fee. $35.00 for two-year program.
All enrolled Nursing students must also utilize Pre-Check for their mandatory 10 panel drug-screening. Day Program students will need to have this done before Term II.
