A registered nurse license from the Delaware Board of Nursing: by passing the NCLEX-RN after a state-approved nursing program, or by endorsement for a nurse already licensed in another state. Delaware is a compact state, so a multistate license from another compact state is enough. A nursing degree and RN license; many NICUs hire new graduates into a neonatal residency.

786 people finished registered nursing programs at 5 schools in Delaware in 2023-24 (U.S. Department of Education). The most graduates: Delaware Technical Community College-Terry in Dover (432), University of Delaware in Newark (166) and Wilmington University in New Castle (119).

Yes. Delaware is in the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC): a nurse whose home state is a compact state and who holds its multistate license can work in Delaware without another license, and a nurse who lives in Delaware applies for the multistate license there. A nurse from a state outside the compact needs a Delaware license from the Delaware Board of Nursing, by endorsement for a nurse licensed in another state. (NCSBN, read 9 Nov 2026.) How to transfer your nursing license to Delaware (the board's endorsement fee: $181).
