NCLEX RN Exams- Not Just For US Students

By: CF Thompson

According to NCSBN, National Council of State Boards of Nursing test results among students studying outside the United States and US educated students taking the NCLEX RN are both on the rise from 2000.
In 2000 there were more than seventy-one thousand US educated pupils sitting for the NCLEX exam and over seventy-five hundred pupils educated outside the United States. International students made up only 10.5% of the students sitting for the exam.
The demands for nurses are outpacing the number of nurses who are entering nursing schools. Aging Baby Boomers, growing population, and increased number of nurses used in place of doctors are causing a serious demand for nurses.
The demand for nurses in the United States is being answered by students in other countries. Many US Citizens are protesting that there are citizens with skills and experience to fill the positions in the computer science field and issuing more work visas will only increase unemployment in the US. Will nurses in the United States be competing for jobs in the US with students educated abroad? In 2007 there were 119,579 United States educated students and 33,768 internationally educated pupils sitting for the NCLEX RN test. This is a bit more than 28% of all nursing students, which are sitting for this test.
The increase in international students could be as a result of the NCSBN opening three new test sites outside the United States. In just seven years the percentage of international students has risen 17.5%
Students educated outside the US are alert to the need for nurses in North America and know that educating themselves may be their opportunity to obtain a work visa and possible citizenship in the United States and may garner them a life of a greater quality of living and freedom from oppression.
Students Educated in the United States In 2007, there were 119,579 US educated nursing students taking the NCLEX RN. 85.5% of them passed. 52% of the 33,768 students educated outside the United States nursing students passed the first time.
How about the students who did not pass the NCLEX RN Test? Last year there were a total of 26,411 students retaking the exam. These were United States educated students repeating the test. Anyone can download the audios regardless of the country of origin.
Many students use the audios to prepare for the test, but a few students have thought ahead and use it to learn the class material prior to starting the class.
Students around the world find it difficult to make time to study. NCLEX review materials on audio make it easier to review while performing other activities such as driving or going to the gym.
