NCLEX-RN (National Council Licensure Examination-Registered Nurse).
All boards of nursing in states and territories of the United States require candidates to pass this exam for licensure as a registered nurse (RN). As of 2015, 10 provincial/territorial RN regulators in Canada have chosen the NCLEX-RN and the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) as the provider of the Canadian RN entry-to-practice exam.
The NCLEX-RN uses the five-step nursing process. Each of the questions will fall into one of the five steps: assessment, analysis, planning, intervention and implementation, and evaluation.
