The National
Council of State Boards of Nursing began accepting Canadian registration for
the National Council Licensure Examination-Registered Nurse on November 3,
2014. The first examination in Canada will take place on January 5, 2015. This
will be the first time the NCLEX-RN is used for licensing in a country outside
of the United States. The NCLEX-RN replaces the Canadian Registered Nursing
Exam, which was last offered on October 1, 2014.
The new licensing
program is the result of Canadian RN regulators selecting the NCLEX-RN for
proper assessment of registered nurses in Canada. The new test offers increased
security, accessibility and provides timely results for prospective RNs.
The test will
include both metric and imperial measurement options and will be reviewed by a
team of Canadian experts that will ensure the appropriateness of terms used in
the exam. Nurses from across Canada will also be included in the writing and
review panels for the current NCLEX-RN.
The entry-level
assessment can be a daunting examination for nurses who have completed their
required nursing program. Finding appropriate study material is often one of
the challenges in preparation for national assessment.
