**ATTENTION** NEW PHARMACIST APPLICANTS
Nevada Law Examination (NVLE)
To become a registered pharmacist in Nevada by examination,
reciprocation or score transfer, a pharmacist applicant must pass an
examination on law with a score of 75 or higher (NRS 639.120). In Nevada, this test
was the Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence Examination (MPJE), which is created
by and administered by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP).
Starting May 5, 2025, a pharmacist applicant will no
longer be able to apply with NABP to take the MPJE. Instead, the pharmacist
applicant will be required to apply for and take and pass the Nevada Law
Examination (NVLE) created by and administered by the Nevada State Board of
Pharmacy.
NABP will discontinue the MPJE-NV edition at close of
business on May 31, 2025.
NABP will continue to support the MPJE-NV edition for all
applicants who have already applied for and will be taking the examination
on or before May 31, 2025. Questions regarding the status of your
current MPJE-NV application should be directed at NABP’s website at www.nabp.pharmacy.
How to apply to take the NVLE?
To take the NVLE, you must submit a completed Pharmacist
Application (NV
Pharmacist Application). Upon receipt of a completed application, you will
receive an email with instructions on how to access the examination. The NVLE
will test your knowledge of state and federal pharmacy laws. The NVLE is
a 90-minute exam composed of 50 questions.
You must answer all questions in the order in which they are presented.
You may not skip any questions. You
cannot go back to previous questions or change your answers once you have
confirmed your answer choice and moved on. You are not permitted to copy or
share questions from this online examination. Copying or sharing questions from
the online examination is considered unprofessional conduct and may result in
disciplinary action by the Board.
NRS 639.210 Grounds for suspension or revocation of certificate,
license, registration or permit or denial of application. The Board may
suspend or revoke any certificate, license, registration or permit issued
pursuant to this chapter, and deny the application of any person for a
certificate, license, registration or permit who is guilty of unprofessional
conduct.
