About the Maine NCLEX exam
Maine Board of Nursing. Like every state, Maine adopts the federal standards as a baseline and adds state-specific requirements, fees, and procedures.
- NCLEX + state licensing fee: approximately $200 NCLEX fee + $50 ME fee.
- State nursing board: Maine State Board of Nursing.
- Maine is an NLC member; Maine's rural geography creates significant demand for nurses in underserved communities and critical access hospitals.
