NCLEX-RN Exam
Nurses must pass the NCLEX-RN exam in order to receive a US-RN license. O’Grady Peyton International provides an excellent education program in order to ensure you are fully prepared for the NCLEX-RN exam.
The education program includes review classes, education materials, practice exams and follow-up study calls by our NCLEX education co-coordinator.
O’Grady Peyton International regularly organizes for nurses to travel to their nearest testing centre to take the NCLEX exam. If your trip involves airfares, this may be sponsored by OGP.
Long Distance Learning Options
For OGP nurses based outside of Singapore, we offer a distance learning programme. This programme covers the same material as the Review Classes; however, the course is provided via correspondence. Our Nurse Educator will tailor-make a programme to help you turn your weaknesses into strengths and will guide you to NCLEX-RN success. For this programme, it is recommended you have access to a computer and the internet.
English
Nurses who completed their basic nursing training in Asia will be required to meet minimum requirements on an English proficiency exam. Any nurse who completed their nursing training in a country other than US, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Trinidad, & non Quebec Canada must pass an approved English exam to qualify for a Visa Screen Certificate. Results are valid for 2 years.
