title: Exit exams from a regulatory perspective.
abstract: When programs do have problems with NCLEX-RN pass rates, the state boards of nursing often work with the program administrators and provide them with reasonable time to make changes. In the end, educators and regulators have the same goal: graduating safe and competent nurses in sufficient numbers to meet the needs of the public. NCSBN is committed to this goal and will continue to conduct research and disseminate information and data that will support the state boards of nursing and help nursing programs make innovative changes. We all share the common interest of promoting quality education for future nurses.
