About the Montana NCLEX exam
Montana Board of Nursing. Like every state, Montana adopts the federal standards as a baseline and adds state-specific requirements, fees, and procedures.
- NCLEX + state licensing fee: approximately $200 NCLEX fee + $100 MT fee.
- State nursing board: Montana Board of Nursing.
- Montana is an NLC member; Montana's rural healthcare environment creates demand for nurses willing to practise in critical access hospitals and frontier settings.
