Canadian regulators, with the exception of Quebec, adopted the NCLEX-RN as the exam that tests whether an applicant to the nursing profession in Canada is ready to provide safe care to the public. The NCLEX-RN tells us whether an applicant has the ability to assess and respond to changes in vital signs, perform comprehensive health assessments, assess a client’s need for pain management, perform calculations needed to safely administer medications, and maintain client confidentiality and privacy. These are just a few examples of the knowledge, skill and judgment that is assessed on the exam. Visit CCRNR’s website for additional information.
