NCLEX

NCLEX is the acronym for the National Council Licensure Examination; a required test for obtaining a valid nursing license in the United States of America. This is administered by the National Council of State Board of Nursing. It is a state-earned exam that all nurses must take and pass to stay and practice nursing in the USA.

CGFNS / ERES / J&SA among others offer Credential Evaluation services for authorization to practice nursing in most USA states such as Nevada, Illinois, etc., while the NCLEX examines the qualification of the applicant.

The Application Process
