NCLEX-PN

The NCLEX-PN (National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses) is a standardized exam that licensed practical or vocational nurses must pass to become nationally certified. It assesses their knowledge and skills in areas like patient care, safety, and clinical judgment to ensure they can competently perform their duties. Passing this exam verifies that a practical nurse is qualified to provide safe, effective care under the supervision of registered nurses or doctors. The NCLEX-PN is a vital step in obtaining licensure and beginning a professional nursing career.
