Licensure and NCLEX information |
|
To work as a Registered Nurse in the United States, you must be licensed in the state in which you plan to practice. Initial licensure in a state is awarded by receiving a passing grade on the National Council License Examination for Registered
Nurses (NCLEX-RN®). Once you pass the
NCLEX-RN and are licensed in a state, you may apply to other states through a
process known as endorsement.
|
|
The NCLEX-RN is designed to make sure that each nurse has the knowledge to practice safely at a minimum of an entry-level registered
nurse. Many nursing schools in other countries have examinations that are knowledge-based, testing you on the
facts you have learned.
The NCLEX-RN, however, is an application-based examination.
The NCLEX-RN examination, administered via Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT), uses standard NCLEX-RN-examination,
multiple-choice questions. With CAT, each candidate's test is unique: It is assembled interactively as the individual is tested.
As the
candidate answers each question, the computer calculates a competence estimate based on all earlier answers.
Mepco International will assist in your preparation for the NCLEX-RN. The study program includes training sessions plus a self-guided
home program as well. You should not take this study program lightly but complete all materials provided to ensure success in the exam.
When you are ready to sit for the NCLEX-RN, Mepco International will choose for you the most convenient test site in India.
There are
five different test sites that you can choose from in India. They are Bangalore, Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai.
To work in the U.S., all citizens of foreign countries must obtain a visa issued by the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (BCIS). While this can be a lengthy and complex process, Mepco International works hard to make it as simple as possible for you. We will guide you through every stage of the process.
