Resources for Future Nurses
The demand for nurses is growing in the U.S., so there are many opportunities for career progression once qualified. To become a licensed nurse, individuals need to obtain a college degree and pass the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) Nursing Exam. Many nursing schools also require an entrance exam like HESI or TEAS before securing a place on a nursing program.
There are different types of nurses, Registered Nurses (RN) and Practical Nurses (PN), that require different certification exams. To become an RN, an individual will need to take NCLEX-RN and to become a PN, individuals need to pass the NCLEX-PN. There are eligibility requirements for NCLEX exams, so it is best to check you meet these criteria before registering for the exam. To help you feel confident before taking the exam, NCLEX practice tests can support your preparation.
