NCLEX Nursing Student Exam Pass Rates Are Up - Audio Learning

The National Council of State Boards of Nursing, NCSBN research states pass rates 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 a total of 71,475 US educated students and 7,506 internationally educated students taking the NCLEX RN. About 88.5% of students taking the NCLEX were educated in the US

The demands for nurses is outpacing the number of nurses who are entering nursing schools. An aging population, growing population, and increased number of nurses used in place of doctors is causing a serious demand for nurses.

The demand for nurses in the US is being answered by students in abroad. Many US Citizens are protesting that there are citizens with skills and experience who want a job in the computer science field and issuing more work visas will only increase unemployment in the US. Will nurses in the US be competing for jobs in the US with students educated abroad? Last year there were 119,579 US educated students and 33,768 internationally educated students taking for the NCLEX RN exam. More than 28% of all nursing students sitting for this test.

The dramatic increase is quite possibly the result of the National Council of State Boards of Nursing opening three exam centers abroad. In just seven years the percentage of international students has risen 17.5%

Students educated outside the US are alert to the demand for nurses in North America and know that educating themselves may be their opportunity to obtain a work visa and possible permanent residency in the US and may garner them a life of a greater quality of living and freedom from oppression.

How well are US educated students performing compared to their internationally educated counterparts? are still out performing international students, but international students are gaining on them.In 2007, there were 119,579 US educated nursing students taking the NCLEX RN. 85.5% of them passed. Only 52% of the 33,768 internationally educated

How about those students who had to repeat the test? In 2007 26,411 students sat for the exam for at least the second time. These were US educated students repeating the test. Since this is obviously more than 14.5%
