About the Missouri NCLEX exam
The Missouri NCLEX exam is administered by the Missouri Department of Revenue. Like every state, Missouri adopts the federal standards as a baseline and adds state-specific requirements, fees, and procedures.
- NCLEX + state licensing fee: approximately $200 NCLEX fee + $55 MO fee.
- State nursing board: Missouri State Board of Nursing.
- Missouri is an NLC member; Missouri was an early adopter of the Nurse Licensure Compact.
