The NCLEX-RN (National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses) is a standardized exam that all nursing graduates must pass to become licensed Registered Nurses (RNs) in the United States and Canada. The exam is designed to evaluate whether a candidate possesses the critical thinking and clinical decision-making skills required for safe and effective entry-level nursing practice.

The NCLEX-RN is developed and administered by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) and uses a Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) format, meaning the difficulty of questions adjusts based on your performance.
