NCLEX (National Council Licensure Examination)

The NCLEX (National Council Licensure Examination) is a standardized test that nurses must pass to become licensed to practice nursing legally. It assesses a candidate’s knowledge, skills, and ability to provide safe and effective patient care. The exam covers various topics such as health promotion, disease prevention, and clinical judgment. Administered electronically, it adapts to the test-taker’s ability level and is used nationwide to ensure only qualified individuals enter the nursing profession. Passing the NCLEX confirms that a nurse has met the essential standards to practice safely and competently.
