Why PNA

The NCLEX-RN® Review Program offered by Professional Nursing Associates is a comprehensive program that prepares candidates for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN). This standardized exam is used by state boards of nursing to determine a candidate’s readiness for entry-level nursing practice in the United States. With our proprietary NCLEX-RN review program, we have a pass rate that is more than twice the national average. Our program offers a variety of learning resources, including textbooks, online learning modules, live webinars, personalized coaching, and more. (For current NCLEX® pass rates, visit NCSBN.org.)

Our program provides live skills videos and demonstrations to help nurses gain confidence and maximize their success in clinical skills before arriving in the U.S. Our approach is multifaceted, offering live webinars, personalized coaching, and regular follow-ups to keep nurses on track
