Mission Statement

Practical Nurse Licensure

The NCLEX-PN® (National Council Licensure Examination - Practical Nurse) is a computer based adaptive test of nursing knowledge and skills for Practical and Vocational Nursing. Passing the exam is required of candidates for licensure as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) or Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) by all US state and territorial Boards of Nursing. The NCLEX-PN® examinations are administered by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing, Inc. (NCSBN). To ensure public safety, each board of nursing requires a candidate for licensure to pass the NCLEX-PN® examination for registered nurses. NCLEX-PN® examinations are designed to test the knowledge, skills and abilities essential to the safe and effective practice of nursing at the practical level. NCLEX-PN® examinations are provided in a computerized adaptive testing format and are presently administered by Pearson VUE in their network of Pearson Professional Centers. The computerized adaptive method for administering tests merges computer technology with modern measurement theory to increase the efficiency of the testing process.
