education requirements.  Except for those applicants who have
received   advanced  graduate  degrees  in  nursing  from  an
approved  program  with  concurrent   theory   and   clinical
practice,   The  educational  requirements  of  Section 10-30

practical  nursing shall not be deemed to have been satisfied
by the completion of any correspondence course or any program

theory  and  clinical  practice.     The Department may, upon
recommendation of the Board, grant  an  Illinois  license  to
those  applicants who have received advanced graduate degrees
in nursing from an approved program  with  concurrent  theory
and   clinical  practice  or  to  those  applicants  who  are
currently licensed in another state and  have  been  actively
practicing clinical nursing for a minimum of 2 years.
