NCLEX

The NCLEX (National Council Licensure Examination) is a standardized test that nursing graduates must pass to become licensed registered nurses (RNs) or practical/vocational nurses (LPNs/LVNs). It assesses a candidate’s knowledge and skills to ensure they can provide safe, effective care. The exam focuses on klinical reasoning, decision-making, and fundamental nursing competencies. Passing the NCLEX is a legal requirement for practicing as a nurse in the United States and Canada. It’s designed to protect public health by ensuring nurses meet essential professional standards before starting independent practice.
