Boards vs NCLEX?

Published

I'm a junior 2 nursing student and from what I have been told, we only have to pass the NCLEX to become registered. However, I read on another article that talked about boards needing to be passed after graduating. Is there a difference between boards and the NCLEX or is it just the same term? Thanks!
