National Council Licensure Examination

The National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) is a standardized test that aspiring nurses must pass to obtain their nursing license. It evaluates their knowledge, skills, and ability to provide safe and effective patient care. The exam is developed by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) and is used across the U.S. and Canada. The NCLEX ensures that only qualified individuals can practice nursing independently, helping to protect public health. It employs a computer adaptive testing format, adjusting question difficulty based on your responses to accurately assess competency.
