About the Ohio NCLEX exam

Ohio Board of Nursing. Like every state, Ohio adopts the federal standards as a baseline and adds state-specific requirements, fees, and procedures.

  • NCLEX + state licensing fee: approximately $200 NCLEX fee + $75 OH fee.
  • State nursing board: Ohio Board of Nursing.
  • Ohio is NOT an NLC member; Ohio has one of the largest registered nurse workforces in the US and is home to major academic medical centres.

To get started, read the official Ohio handbook (linked above), practice with the tests on this page until you consistently score above 70%, and then schedule your exam with the Ohio Board of Nursing.

What's in the Ohio 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.
