Introduction

Examination is a computerized adaptive test for licensure
examinations nationwide. Under the guidance of its membership,
the National Council of State Boards of Nursing, Inc. has

These two examinations are used by Boards of Nursing to
test the entry-level nursing competence of candidates for
licensure as Registered Nurses and as Licensed Practical/Vocational
Nurses.
The
NCLEX Examination is used to determine entry-level nursing
competency, and is administered by the National Council
of State Boards of Nursing.

into four "client needs" sections:

The
NCLEX is administered by appointment only. For more information,
