The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) has introduced the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) as a standardised test to assess whether a candidate is ready to be licenced as an entry-level nurse in Australia. Pearson VUE NCLEX RN Examination conducts this examination in most countries.
The Australian Health Practitioners Regulation Agency’s (AHPRA) NCLEX-RN exam is a way to test your nursing knowledge and sharpen your critical thinking skills, and IHM’s NCLEX-RN preparation course will help you do just that.
International nurses who want to practise in Australia will have the opportunity to study nursing care-related content in Australia and will be able to revise their nursing knowledge through continuous assessment reviews in preparation for the OBA-NCLEX exam as an alternative. When it comes to learning about the Australian healthcare system, you’ll get an introduction to Australian Registered Nurse Standards of Practice, as well as a refresher on the national quality and safety health standards in Australia.
NCLEX for RNs is a preparatory course that helps candidates enhance their professional knowledge and prepare for the Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) exam that is part of the Outcomes Based Assessment (OBA) in Australia.
This non-awarded NCLEX preparation programme will provide International nurses with the opportunity to study information that is relevant to nursing care in Australia, allowing them to review their nursing knowledge through continual assessment reviews in order to prepare for the OBA-NCLEX exam.
This course seeks to combine their prior nursing knowledge, expertise, nursing abilities, and life experiences with new information about the Australian healthcare system, Australian Registered Nurse Standards of Practice, and Australian National Quality and Safety Health Standards.
The programme also aims to help students read, interpret, and decode NCLEX pattern questions. It accomplishes this by training students to be NCLEX-savvy and to apply NCLEX strategies, Bloom’s taxonomy, and Maslow’s hierarchy to answer the most difficult analytical questions.
Overall, the course encourages critical thinking, concept testing, and the production and growth of nursing knowledge in order to prepare students to be competent, confident, and safe registered nurses in Australia.
NCLEX preparation at the Institute of Health and Management is a 12-week online course with three-hour classes every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. in Melbourne / Sydney time.

*There is no fee to use the Self-check.
IQNMs that do not hold a relevant qualification (under section 53 of the National Law) or do not meet the required assessment criteria will need to upgrade their qualification in Australia before being eligible to apply for registration. Click here to know more.
Those who successfully complete the self-check must proceed in the IQNM assessment process.
For IQNM assessment process students will need to pay a non-refundable assessment fee of $640 AUD.
This fee contributes towards AHPRA’s costs in checking IQNM documentation provided, and for the IQNM to undertake their orientation.
