Nurse Licensure Examination (NCLEX)

The Nurse Licensure Examination (NCLEX) is a standardized test that aspiring nurses must pass to obtain their professional nursing license. It evaluates whether candidates possess the necessary knowledge, skills, and safety understanding to effectively and responsibly care for patients. The exam covers areas like health promotion, disease prevention, safe clinical practices, and patient communication. Successful completion demonstrates that the nurse is competent to practice independently, ensuring they meet the standards required for safe and effective healthcare delivery. The NCLEX is a critical step in transitioning from nursing education to professional practice.
