About the Rhode Island NCLEX exam
Rhode Island Board of Nursing. Like every state, Rhode Island adopts the federal standards as a baseline and adds state-specific requirements, fees, and procedures.
- NCLEX + state licensing fee: approximately $200 NCLEX fee + $135 RI fee.
- State nursing board: Rhode Island Board of Nurse Registration and Nursing Education.
- Rhode Island is NOT an NLC member; Rhode Island has a high density of healthcare facilities relative to its small geographic size.
