The purpose of the NCLEX-RN® Exam is to determine whether a
candidate is competent to perform safe, effective, entry-level nursing
care. It does not prepare nurses but rather measures their
performance on a test. Candidates who are unsuccessful receive
information about their weak areas on the test, but this is not the
purpose of it. Employers want to know if the person has passed
because there is no specific score given other than pass or fail

, immediate gratification for completing a goal. It is important to

to be attended to. Reviewing a list of goals yearly would not be
sufficient in helping the student plan for completing his/her
educational goals.
