NCLEX-RN preparation for internationally educated nurses

PrepGrove prepares you for the NCLEX-RN exam itself. It does not advise on eligibility, credentials evaluation, English language requirements or immigration — those are decided by a state board of nursing and other organisations, and they differ by state.

What we do not decide

• Whether you may sit the NCLEX-RN. Your state board of nursing decides that.
• What your qualification is worth in a given state.
• Which English language test is accepted.
• Anything to do with immigration or visas.
• Ask the board of nursing in the state you are applying to, and use NCSBN's own current material.

What is usually different for nurses trained outside the United States

• The test plan is sorted into eight client-need categories rather than by body system or specialty.
• Delegation and scope-of-practice questions assume a United States staffing model of RN, LPN/LVN and assistive personnel.
• The NGN item formats — matrix, bow-tie, drop-down and highlight — are new to nearly everyone.
• Everything here is in English, including the rationales.
