What types of tests need to be taken to become a Registered Nurse?

Hi Jocelyn! Congratulations! Nursing is a great career and I hope you really love it. I have been a nurse for 30 years now and can't imagine doing anything else as a career. Colleges all have tests that you will take along the way to be sure you are really learning all of the material that they present to you- so, like high school, you will have tests and exams in college in each of your subjects. Nursing schools also provide testing to predict how each of their students will do on the NCLEX. The NCLEX is the biggest/ most important test you will take. That's the exam you will take after you graduate from college with your nursing degree. The NCLEX allows you to practice as a registered nurse. I hope this information helps!
