NCLEX-RN, which stands for National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses, refers to the standardized test registered nursing candidates must pass in order to
become a registered nurse (RN).
During the final semester of study, undergraduate students are informed of each step
in the NCLEX-RN® application process. The process must be completed by specified dates.
The student must follow the directions in a timely manner. Failure to follow all directions
and respond appropriately could prevent the graduate from meeting the requirements
to take the NCLEX- RN®. The student must contact the Board of Nursing to correct any
errors made in the application (e.g., date of graduation or school code).
