About the Wisconsin NCLEX exam
Wisconsin Board of Nursing. Like every state, Wisconsin adopts the federal standards as a baseline and adds state-specific requirements, fees, and procedures.
- NCLEX + state licensing fee: approximately $200 NCLEX fee + $82 WI fee.
- State nursing board: Wisconsin Board of Nursing.
- Wisconsin is NOT an NLC member state; Wisconsin maintains a single-state licence system with reciprocity available for out-of-state applicants.
