We're dedicated to helping you succeed on NCLEX!
What are NCLEX?
The NCLEX is a standardized test that future nurses must take to get their nursing license. It stands for the National Council Licensure Examination. NCLEX uses questions and real-world case studies to measure a nurse's ability to think more critically and implement clinical judgment. This test ensures that students have the skills, knowledge and ability to take care of patients safely.
Passing the NCLEX examination means you are ready to start working as a nurse and are issued a registered nurse (RN) licensure number within the state in which you applied for licensure.
