All nursing students must pass the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX), which was created by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN), in order to work as nurses. Students looking to become Registered Nurses (RNs) take the NCLEX-RN, while those who want to work as Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) take the NCLEX-PN.
