Achieve Nursing Excellence

The NCLEX (National Council Licensure Examination) is a standardized exam that determines if a candidate has the minimum level of competency needed to provide safe and effective patient care as a licensed registered nurse (RN). The NCLEX is developed and administered by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) and is required for licensure in the United States and Canada.

To prepare for the NCLEX, it is important to have a strong foundation in nursing knowledge, skills, and practice. A comprehensive NCLEX review course can provide the structure, practice questions, and feedback needed to succeed on the exam. Enrolling in a review course, such as Ray A Gapuz Review System, can give you the confidence and skills necessary to pass the NCLEX and start your nursing career.

To register for the NCLEX, you must first graduate from an approved nursing program and apply for licensure with the board of nursing in the state or jurisdiction where you want to practice. Once you are deemed eligible to take the NCLEX, you will receive authorization to test (ATT) and can then register for the exam through Pearson VUE, the NCLEX test delivery provider.

The NCLEX is a computer-adaptive test (CAT) that adjusts the difficulty of questions based on the test taker's performance. The NCLEX-RN exam consists of a minimum of 85 and a maximum of 150 questions and can take up to 5 hours to complete. The NCLEX tests a wide range of nursing competencies, including safe and effective patient care, health promotion and maintenance, and psychosocial and physiological integrity.
