A preparação para o NCLEX-RN que pensa junto com você.

The NCLEX-RN is the licensing exam that Boards of Nursing use to assess whether a person is ready to practice safely as a Registered Nurse. For the Brazilian nurse, it is usually a central step after the credentials evaluation and before the final license in the chosen state. The exam is taken in English and measures clinical judgment, patient safety, pharmacology, physiological care, and professional communication. Lumerly exists to prepare you for this study without hiding the complexity of the path.

The NCLEX-RN is aimed at licensure as a Registered Nurse. The NCLEX-PN is aimed at the Practical Nurse or Vocational Nurse, a different role with a different scope of practice. Brazilian-trained nurses usually look toward the RN path, but every U.S. state has its own requirements. Before investing in any preparation, confirm with the Board of Nursing in your chosen state.

The Next Generation NCLEX took effect on April 1, 2023, to measure clinical judgment more realistically. The exam began using case studies and item types that simulate decision-making, prioritization, and interpretation of clinical data. This reduced the weight of practice based on multiple choice alone. For those who studied nursing in Brazil, the change makes it even more important to train the interface, vocabulary, and reasoning all at once.

Modern preparation needs to cover formats such as Bowtie, Trend, Matrix, Highlight, Drag and Drop, Drop Down Cloze, Drop Down Rationale, Extended Multiple Response, Extended Drag and Drop, Cloze, Matrix Multiple Choice, Matrix Multiple Response, Stand Alone Bowtie, and Case Studies. Some materials group these formats differently, but the practical requirement is the same: you need to recognize the interface before exam day. Practicing only multiple choice and SATA leaves an important part of the experience uncovered. Lumerly was designed to expose students to the NGN formats from the start.
