NCLEX
The National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) is a standardized exam that is used to determine whether an individual has the knowledge and skills required to practice safely as a nurse in the United States. It is required for nursing licensure in all 50 states, as well as in the District of Columbia and four US territories.
The NCLEX exam is administered by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN), and it is designed to test the competencies of nursing candidates at the entry-level. There are two versions of the NCLEX exam: the NCLEX-PN, which is for practical nurses (LPNs), and the NCLEX-RN, which is for registered nurses (RNs).
The NCLEX exam consists of multiple-choice questions that are organized into six categories: safe and effective care environment, health promotion and maintenance, psychosocial integrity, physiological integrity, pharmacological and parenteral therapies, and reduction of risk potential. The exam is computer-adaptive, which means that the difficulty of the questions adjusts based on the candidate’s performance.
How We Can Help?
Since the practice of nursing requires the application of knowledge, skills, and abilities, the majority of NCLEX test questions are written at the application or higher levels of cognitive ability, which requires more complex thought processing.
These questions require a candidate to utilize problem-solving skills in order to select the correct answer. Hence, success in NCLEX requires more than just reviewing content tested on the exam.
Nicklecity’s review program is designed to pass the NCLEX-RN and obtain a registered nurse certification with ease!
