New testing center locations

[nursemomruns]

I didn't see this posted anywhere, so I thought I'd pass the info on to you here. After April 1, 2006, there will be new sites for the NCLEX examination. Sites are opening up in Australia, Canada, Germany, India, Mexico, Taiwan, and later in 2006, probably in Japan. If you would like to view the pdf, go to

http://www.ncsbn.org/pdfs/Intnl_FAQ_Sept_04.pdf. If you can't access it directly, go to http://www.ncsbn.org. Click on testing department on the right hand side of the page, then click on international testing toward the top of the page (the one that was updated February 2006).

You're welcome.

Yes, I remembered the posts about how badly a site was needed in India. I'm glad we had good news to share!
