NCLEX Pass Rates

To safely enter the nursing profession, candidates typically must complete several steps:

  1. Graduate from a recognized nursing program
  2. Meet the specific requirements of the state board of nursing
  3. Pass the NCLEX examination for registered nurses (RNs) or licensed practical/vocational nurses (LPN/VNs)

Since passing the NCLEX is usually the final step in the nurse licensure process, the pass rate is a good indicator of how many new nurses are entering the profession in the U.S. The NCLEX Pass Rate dashboard provides information on the volume and pass rates broken down by the following candidate types:

  • Educational program
  • 1st time vs. repeater status
  • Domestic vs. internationally educated.

You can select the year for each dashboard by toggling on the year buttons at the top left of the dashboard.

Exam Statistics & Publications

NOTE: There may be some differences between the interactive and live dashboards and the PDF versions that previously provided the same information. These differences could be due to static data versus live data and data reconciliation (e.g., adding/removing candidates).
