Why Must You Take the NCLEX-RN?
NCLEX stands for National Council Licensure Examination and 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 RN, indicates that you have proven to your state board of nursing that you can deliver safe and effective nursing care. The NCLEX 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 test not only your knowledge, but also your ability to make competent nursing judgment.

(NCSBN) voted at its Dec. 5-7, 2007, meeting to raise the passing standard for the NCLEX-PN examination (the National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses). The new passing standard is -0.37 logits on the NCLEX-PN logistic scale, 0.05 logits higher than the previous standard of -0.42. The new passing standard will take effect on April 1, 2008, in conjunction with the 2008 NCLEX-PN Test Plan.
