How to Tell If You Passed the NCLEX in Pennsylvania

The National Council Licensure Examination for Nurses, or NCLEX, is the official licensing exam used in the United States. Developed by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing, Pearson Professional Centers administers all exams in a computerized environment. If you took the NCLEX exam in the state of Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Board of Nursing will mail you your official exam results approximately four to six weeks after you take the exam.
