Questions about the NCLEX-RN - 2L8 - 08-03-2019
Hello ,
I'm currently prepping for Fall Semester and looking over some requirements on the school website for nursing and the NCLEX-RN is the entrance exam that I am suppose to take. I wanted to know what is this test like what would be on it , is it difficult or easy , how many hours should you dedicate to studying and you guy's experience with it.

My NCLEX knowledge is minimal and experiences non-existent, but I know someone who took it recently. Depending on how you answer the questions determines how many questions you will have. For example, the person I knew only answered 75 questions and finished, but the exam can have as many 265.

The NCLEX-RN is a licensing exam for nurses, not an entry exam for schools. One graduates and takes the NCLEX, not before.

I agree with DeanLewis, the NCLEX is the exam you take after fulfilling your RN requirements - it's the final step to becoming an RN.
I do know people who have taken the TEAS, HESI or NLN PAX exams as entrance exams, but not the NCLEX.

Exactly. My current educational goals are in the nursing field, and I have to take both the ATI TEAS, and HESI and Wonderlic combination to fulfill admission requirements for a couple of schools (TEAS is most common), but the NCLEX (there are a couple of versions, for LPN/LVNs and RNs) is the post-graduation licensure exam.
Regarding the TEAS, it's very accessible basic English (comprehension, structure, grammar etc), basic algebra, and some fairly in-depth science (biology, and anatomy and physiology). The HESI is much, much easier, as it has no science component.

These guys are right. Somehow I missed that in your first post. I'm not sure where you're located, but as a matter of example, the local community college where I am requires a minimum score on the ACT for entry to the nursing program.
