Yes, you can't become a nurse practitioner without first becoming a registered nurse. However, if you are graduating from a nursing program you can typically register for graduate school but once you take the exam you need to submit your license information to the program.

The purpose of this exam is to gauge the knowledge, skills, and abilities that are related to the practice of nursing of the students.NCSBN designed the NCLEX to see whether students could taking critically, so this test is not based on the memorization of facts. Currently, the NCLEX is heavily testing students on their infection control skills and if they are capable of prioritizing and delegating.As of 2010, the NCLEX is focusing a lot on prioritization as well as infection control. The test has questions that are based on memorization, application, analysis, and knowledge, so you must really know the material to pass this exam.

After two weeks to a month, you will receive your results in the mail. You will only receive your score if you passed the NCLEX, but if you failed the NCLEX, you will receive a detailed results sheet.If you failed the NCLEX, you'll probably want to take it again in the future. Before you can apply to take the NCLEX again, you must wait three months. To register for the NCLEX, you must pay $200, and $150 for the Additional International Scheduling Fee. As you can see, you should vouch to take the NCLEX as little times as possible due to the cost.Check out ncsbn.org if you want to learn more about the NCLEX exam.
