NCLEX RN - National Council of Licensure Examination - Registered Nurse

Entry into the practice of nursing in the United States and its territories is regulated by the licensing authorities within each jurisdiction.

To ensure protection, each jurisdiction requires a candidate for licensure to pass an examination that measures the competencies needed to perform safely and effectively as a newly licensed, entry-level registered nurse.

After you have passed the CGFNS examination, you need to take the NCLEX exam.
The NCLEX is usually taken after the nurses arrive in USA with their immigration visas and within one year of their placement. Normally the nurse prepares for NCLEX while working and the cost of NCLEX is taken care of by the employers. The fees amount of NCLEX is $200.
