National Council Licensure Examination
National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) is a nationwide examination for the licensing of nurses in the United States and Canada. It has been in existence since 1982 and is developed and owned by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN). The exam's purpose is to ensure that it's safe for you to begin practice as an entry-level nurse.
History
The NCLEX was first administered in 1982 as a paper-and-pencil exam. It transitioned to a computerized adaptive testing format in 1994. The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) is responsible for the development and administration of the NCLEX.
Types of Examinations
There are two types, the NCLEX-RN and the NCLEX-PN. The NCLEX-RN is for registered nurses and the NCLEX-PN is for practical or vocational nurses.
Format
The NCLEX uses computer adaptive testing (CAT) to measure the competencies needed to perform safely and effectively as a newly licensed, entry-level nurse. The exam's content is based on client needs.
Eligibility
In order to take the NCLEX, candidates must first apply for licensure/registration to the nursing regulatory body (NRB) where they wish to be registered.
Preparation
Preparation for the NCLEX exam involves a thorough understanding of the exam content and structure, as well as a review of nursing knowledge in various areas.
