NCLEX Preparation
In order to obtain licensure as a registered nurse in the United States, it is necessary to pass the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). Most graduate nurses take this exam within a few months following graduation. The MSOE-SON strives to assure student’s ability to deliver safe and effective nursing care and enhance success on the NCLEX licensure exam. To help facilitate this goal, the MSOE-SON has contracted with Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI) to provide nursing students with a comprehensive assessment and review package that enriches students along the learning continuum.Curriculum
