What is the NCLEX?
The NCLEX exam, also known as the National Council Licensure Examination, is used by state boards of nursing to decide whether or not a candidate is ready to begin practicing as an entry-level nurse.
This comprehensive exam touches on a number of nursing concepts, and is only open to students who have already completed an accredited nursing program.
There are two variations of the NCLEX, one for registered nurses (RNs) and one for practical nurses (PNs), although the registration process and exam content of these two exams is extremely similar.
