What is the NCLEX-RN examination?

The NCLEX-RN examination is the national licensure exam for registered nurses in the U.S. All registered nurses must pass this examination in order to become licensed nurse in the U.S. To take the NCLEX-RN examination, nurses must apply directly through the U.S. Board of Nursing in the state where they wish to become licensed. Because licensure requirements differ from state to state, nurses should contact the board of nursing in the state where they wish to become licensed.

To confirm current examination, registration, and any other practice requirements. The website of the National Council of State Boards of Nursing(www.ncsbn.org) provides a list of all U.S. Boards of Nursing and Licensing jurisdictions with relevant contact information.

Nurses who passed the NCLEX-RN examination must send a "Request for Validation of Registration/License" form to the State Board of Nursing where they passed the NCLEX-RN. THe Board of Nursing must complete this form, confirm your examination information, and return the form directly to CGFNS/ICHP as part of your VisaScreen application.
