Why Must You Take the NCLEX-RN® Exam?

The NCLEX-RN® exam is prepared by the National Council of State Boards of
Nursing (NCSBN). Each state requires that you pass this exam to obtain a
license to practice as a registered nurse. The designation registered nurse
or R.N. indicates that you have proven to your state board of nursing that
you can deliver safe and effective nursing care. The NCLEX-RN® exam is a
test of minimum competency and is based on the knowledge and behaviors that
are needed for the entry-level practice of nursing. This exam tests not only
your knowledge, but also your ability to make competent nursing judgments.

What Is Entry-Level Practice of Nursing?

In order to define entry-level practice of nursing, the National Council
conducts a job analysis study every three years to determine what
entry-level nurses do on the job. The kinds of questions they investigate
include: In which clinical settings does the beginning nurse work? What
types of care do beginning nurses provide to their patients? What are their
primary duties and responsibilities? Based on the results of this study,
National Council adjusts the content and level of difficulty of the test to
accurately reflect what is happening in the workplace.

What the NCLEX-RN® Exam Is NOT

It is not a test of achievement or intelligence. It is not designed for
nurses who have years of experience. The questions do not involve high-tech
clinical nursing or equipment. It is not predictive of your eventual success
in the career of nursing. You will not be tested on all the content that you
were taught in nursing school.


Good Lord, I just ran through the questions on a sample test and passed.

To each their own!

Amen!
