"What is The NCLEX-RN??"
NCLEX stands for National Council Licensure Examination, The test administered by the boards of nursing that represent each of the 50 states in United States, the District of Columbia and five United States territories; Amirecan Samoa, Guam, The Northen Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and The Virgin Island. The Boards have a mandate to protect the public from unsafe and ineffective nursing care, and each board has been given responsibility to regulate the practice of nursing in its respective state. In fact, the NCLEX is often referred to as "The Boards" or "State Boards."
NCLEX has only one purpose: to determine if it is safe for you to begin pratice as an entry-level nurse.
