Nursing Exam Prep: Choose the Right Exam Route
Compare nursing entrance and licensure exam routes, then use the current official plan for the credential you will actually take.
Nursing exams are not one interchangeable pathway. NCLEX-PN and NCLEX-RN are U.S. licensure examinations, while entrance exams and provincial routes have different owners, rules, and decisions.
Castleport keeps those routes separate and version-aware. Start with the exam owner, confirm the jurisdictional route, and use the free planner only for local study planning—not registration, eligibility, or licensure advice.
