About

The NCLEX, or the National Council Licensure Examination, is an exam used for nursing licensure in the U.S. and in Canada. It is administered once a student completes nursing school to obtain a nursing license.

The NCLEX-RN is given for registered nurses and the NCLEX-PN for practical or vocational nurses.
