As graduation season arrives, you and your nursing school classmates are likely getting prepared to take National Council Licensure Examination in Nursing.
Yes…the dreaded NCLEX.
You’ve passed your nursing courses and are in the process of applying for licensure in your state, either as a Registered Nurse (RN) or a Practical Nurse (PN). As you move closer to the culmination of all of your hard work, you may find that this last piece of the puzzle is a bit confusing.
Getting ready to take the NCLEX does not have to be complicated.
To help simplify the process, we’ve reduced the process into easy steps.
– You can pay with your credit card online or by phone.
– Your registration is good for one year, during which time your board of nursing will make you eligible for testing.
– This email from Pearson VUE will contain your username and password for their website. If you don’t see it in your inbox, check your spam and junk folders.
– Mark this email as important. You will need to get back to this email to schedule your test.
– Your authorization to test is usually good for 90 days, during which time you may take your NCLEX. There are no extensions.
– International test scheduling must be done by telephone.
– This may take up to six weeks after you take the NCLEX exam.
Now you can breathe a sigh of relief and get started with the real challenge: Nursing.
