How to sign up to take the NCLEX-PN
There are several important steps you'll need to follow to begin the
registration process for the NCLEX-PN.
Step 1: Verify eligibility
Prior to registration, you’ll need to verify your eligibility in accordance with the state board of nursing or other
nursing regulatory body (NRB) where you want to practice nursing. This information should be clear and available on their website, but if you have unusual circumstances or questions, contact the NRB directly.
Step 2: Submit your application and fees
Once you've met the prerequisites, submit an application for licensure to your respective nursing board or NRB complying with all necessary documentation and fees.
Step 3: Use your ATT letter to register for the exam with Pearson VUE
After your application is processed and approved, you'll receive an Authorization to Test (ATT) letter containing detailed instructions on how to proceed.
At this point, you’re eligible to take the exam but you’ll need to finish registering. So, visit the
Pearson VUE® website or contact
Pearson VUE Candidate Services to complete your registration.
Step 4: Select a test center and date and pay the fee
This is when you select your examination date and time and choose a preferred test center – it's also when you need to pay the
$200 exam fee.
4 You will receive a confirmation notice that includes details about your test date, time and the location of the test center. This will complete your registration.
Step 5: Receive confirmation
After registering, you will receive a confirmation notice that includes details about your test date, time, and the location of the test center.
Please note that specific requirements and processes may vary slightly depending on your location, so again, it's important to check with your state nursing board for any unique instructions.
