What is the Next Generation NCLEX (NGN)?

The Next Generation NCLEX (NGN) is an updated version of the NCLEX that assesses nursing candidates' abilities to apply clinical judgment skills and make safe, effective decisions. It includes new question types and case sets that are mapped to the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) Clinical Judgement Measurement Model. NGN has been administered since April 2023.

How many questions are on the NCLEX-RN?

The new NCLEX serves up between 85 to 150 questions and will stop as soon as your competency level has been identified.

How do you pass the NCLEX-RN?

To pass the NCLEX-RN, you have to demonstrate that your level of competency is above the minimum standard. As you answer questions correctly, you'll be given increasingly difficult questions, and you will need to work your way up in difficulty so the NCLEX-RN algorithm can identify your passing-level competency with 95% confidence. Answering questions correctly requires both nursing content knowledge and critical thinking skills.

How long does it take to get NCLEX-RN results?

Official results will be sent to you approximately 6 weeks after taking the NCLEX-RN. Some states offer a paid quick results service which allows you to access your 'unofficial' results in 2 business days.

How many times can you take the NCLEX-RN?

Ideally, you'll only take the NCLEX-RN once. However, you are allowed to retest 45 days after the administration of your previous exam. Candidates are permitted to take the exam 8 times in a calendar year, depending on the state.
