To practice as a Registered Nurse (RN) in the United States, entry-into-nursing graduates must pass a standardized, national licensing exam called the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN).

This exam is developed by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) and administered by Pearson VUE. Applications for this standardized test are made through each state’s Nursing Regulatory Body (NRB). The Maryland Board of Nursing (MBON) is Maryland’s NRB. Therefore, the MBON oversees the licensing of RNs who live and work in Maryland.

These verified elements include successful completion of all program requirements, coursework, standardized testing, and participation in all NCLEX-RN Live Review components.
