*The NCLEX (National Council Licensure Examination) is a standardized national exam required for nursing graduates to become licensed Registered Nurses (RNs) or Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNS) / Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs). Administered by Pearson VUE for the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN), the NCLEX-RN uses a computerized adaptive testing (CAT) format, meaning the difficulty of questions adjusts based on your performance. The exam assesses a candidate's nursing knowledge, skills, and critical thinking abilities to ensure they can provide safe and competent patient care.
