Emergency closures
Office closures
When the Governor declares a State of Emergency in Massachusetts or in Suffolk County and non-emergency state employees in the Executive branch are directed not to report to work, the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Nursing office will close. You can find official information about emergency situations on the Commonwealth’s homepage and on the Board’s homepage.
If a declared emergency occurs on a scheduled Board meeting date, it will be cancelled.
NCLEX cancelation
If your scheduled NCLEX® exam at a Pearson Professional Test Center is in an affected area of Massachusetts during a declared emergency, Pearson VUE will contact you to reschedule your exam appointment.
For help, contact Pearson VUE toll-free at (866) 496-2539 or through Pearson's online customer service.
The Board may extend your Authorization to Test (ATT) for a specified number of days if your ATT expires on the date of the emergency or if it expires before the emergency is over.
Substance Abuse Rehabilitation Program (SARP) cancellation
If you have a scheduled SARP Admission Interview or SARP Program Orientation during a declared emergency, we will reschedule your appointment. Contact the SARP Administrative Assistant for a new appointment date at (617) 973-0915.
