Nursing examinations can be broadly categorized into several types:
Licensure Examinations: These exams, such as the NCLEX-RN, are required to obtain a nursing license. Certification Examinations: Specializations in nursing require additional certification exams, like the CCRN for critical care nurses. Academic Examinations: These are part of nursing education programs and include both theoretical and practical assessments. Clinical Competency Assessments: These are hands-on evaluations conducted in clinical settings to assess practical skills.
