About the initiative

ABOUT THE NURSING & NCLEX PATHWAY

Kabarnet University College, in collaboration with IFT (Innovative Forward Thinking Solutions), coordinates a structured pathway for nursing education, professional development, NCLEX preparation and international career awareness. The pathway is designed to guide students and practising nurses from their initial nursing education through professional preparation, with support and guidance offered at each stage.

This pathway emphasises nursing education, professional development, structured NCLEX examination preparation, international career awareness, student guidance and ongoing support. It is intended to help students make informed decisions and build the competencies relevant to contemporary nursing practice, both locally and internationally.

Kabarnet University College and IFT do not guarantee NCLEX examination outcomes, employment, visas or licensure. Please see the disclaimers under the NCLEX section and FAQ below.

Understanding licensure

WHAT IS NCLEX?

NCLEX stands for the National Council Licensure Examination. It is a standardised professional licensure examination administered under the U.S. National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) framework and used by U.S. nursing regulatory bodies (state boards of nursing) to help determine readiness for nursing licensure.

NCLEX-RN

For candidates seeking licensure as Registered Nurses (RN).

NCLEX-PN

For candidates seeking licensure as Practical/Vocational Nurses (PN/VN).

Step by step

UNDERSTANDING THE PATHWAY

Nursing Education Nursing Qualification Eligibility / Credential Review Regulatory Requirements NCLEX Registration NCLEX Examination Licensure
Important: NCLEX preparation and support services offered here are not the same as official NCLEX examination registration. Eligibility and licensure requirements vary by jurisdiction and are determined by the applicable nursing regulatory body. Students should follow the official NCLEX and nursing regulatory processes directly with the relevant board and NCSBN.
For internationally educated nurses

NCLEX PHASE TRACKING WORKFLOW

A step-by-step view of how candidates move from choosing a Board of Nursing through to licensure & international pathway readiness — and how their progress is tracked.

IMPORTANT: Participants apply and pay directly to third-party institutions (the credential evaluator, the Board of Nursing, Pearson VUE and the testing centre). Kabarnet University College / IFT does not submit applications on a candidate’s behalf — this workflow exists to help candidates track and document their own progress.

  • Admission fee paid
  • Auto-enrolled into the NCLEX Tracking Dashboard

DASHBOARD (Landing Page)

  • Unique tracking ID
