Studies have shown that the fear of the National Council Licensure Examination for the registered nurse, NCLEX-RN, has proven to be the major hindrance between the foreign/African trained Registered Nurse who is not registered in the US and the dream of beginning a dream career as a nurse in the US.
If you’re just knowing about it for the first time, well, the NCLEX is a regulated test conducted by the national council of nursing in different states of the USA which is aimed at determining the readiness of an African or foreign-trained nurse to become licensed and consequently begin their nursing career in the US. The importance of the NCLEX examination is quite huge and cannot be overemphasised.
The entire process however may seem like a very high hurdle to cross if one is not privy to the requirements that should be met before one is eligible to even sit for the examination. There are steps that need to be taken to the latter to ensure a smooth ride to getting licensed.
First, the eligibility of the nurse has to be taken into consideration. This is more likely based on the academic qualifications of the nurse. In which case, previous qualifications and certifications are put into consideration to determine if one is even eligible to take the examination and embark on the journey to getting licensed.
In the event that eligibility has been confirmed, the next point of call is the eventual registration for the examination and how to go about preparing for it. A lot of people do not even know the possible costs accruable in the process of registration and this can certainly serve as a hindrance.
This ignorance also extends to the area of what the examination process is like. They do not know what to expect from the examination and how to go about answering the questions. They have no idea as to what techniques are employed to determine the correct answers to questions. This in turn will lead to anxiety during the test and eventual failure.
This is the point where a lot of nurses do not know what to do. They have heard about the NCLEX examinations but do not know how to go from there. They are at a loss, not knowing the next step to take.
Well, it may interest you to know that there is good news. There is no better way to find out the steps to take to getting licensed than to know and follow the process used by someone who has towed the path. And what better way to follow it than to have access to a detailed book where all your concerns are addressed? The solutions are now within your reach and your excuses are very close to zero right now.
