In order to become a Registered Nurse in Canada or USA, International and locally educated nurses are required to complete NCLEX RN Exam successfully.
NCLEX RN Does NOT:
The NCLEX-RN does not test everything that is taught during a 4 year baccalaureate nursing program.
The NCLEX-RN does not test knowledge of health care systems, history, cultural issues, or government policy and laws. Not only do such items vary by province and territory in Canada, they vary across the U.S. While nurses have to know about the health care system they work in, including its legislation, testing for that knowledge is not the purpose of the NCLEX-RN.
NCLEX RN Does:
The NCLEX-RN tests entry-level skills, knowledge and judgment – what nurses need to know to provide safe care at the beginning of their careers. For example, it asks questions about pain management; medication administration; basic care and comfort; infection control; health promotion and maintenance; and concepts such as maintaining confidentiality of patient information.

In addition, all drug names are generic and refer to medications that entry-level nurses are expected to know. Measurements are provided in metric.
The NCLEX-RN tests entry-level knowledge. It does not test your knowledge of all the entry-to-practice competencies required to practise as a nurse in Ontario.

NCLEX RN Exam FAQs
