NCLEX Information
The National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) is the licensing examination for all ADN and BSN graduates. Prior to graduation, all students planning to take the registered nurse (RN) licensing examination should review the information that is located on the University of Mobile website (umobile.edu – academics – schools/colleges – college of health professions – school of nursing – Nursing RN NCLEX information). The steps for testing and licensure must be completed by each student, accompanied by payment of the required fee(s). Students planning to take the licensing examination outside of Alabama are responsible for contacting the State Board of Nursing in the state in which they plan to become licensed for any additional application information.
Students should be aware that successful completion of the nursing program in no way guarantees successful passage of the licensing examination (NCLEX-RN). In addition, the Board of Nursing has the right to refuse an applicant permission to take the exam for any reason they deem is appropriate to do so.
