Common questions about the NCLEX-RN
Who selects and approves the exam?
The selection of the exam is the responsibility of CARNA Provincial Council. In Alberta, the Health Professions Act states that CARNA Provincial Council must establish, maintain and enforce standards for registration to protect and serve the public interest. The Registered Nurses Profession Regulation states that all candidates seeking entry to the profession must pass a registration exam, which the Regulation defines as “a registration exam approved by Council.”
