About the Massachusetts NCLEX exam
Massachusetts Board of Nursing. Like every state, Massachusetts adopts the federal standards as a baseline and adds state-specific requirements, fees, and procedures.
- NCLEX + state licensing fee: approximately $200 NCLEX fee + $192 MA fee.
- State nursing board: Massachusetts Board of Registration in Nursing.
- Massachusetts is NOT an NLC member; Massachusetts has some of the highest nursing education standards and healthcare wages in the country.
To get started, read the official Massachusetts handbook (linked above), practice with the tests on this page until you consistently score above 70%, and then schedule your exam with the Massachusetts Board of Nursing.
What's in the Massachusetts exam: Practice questions modeled on the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) and Practical Nurses (NCLEX-PN), organized by client need category as defined by the NCSBN test plan.
