Practical Nursing (NCLEX-PN)
Master nursing judgement with adaptive bedside scenarios.
Marcus AI helps future LPN/LVNs pass the NCLEX-PN by drilling clinical reasoning, pharmacology, and care management until it sticks.
What it is
The NCLEX-PN licensure exam administered by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) ensures new practical nurses can deliver safe, entry-level care. Candidates must synthesize foundations of nursing, pharmacology, psychosocial integrity, and coordinated care.
Marcus AI recreates the exam's case-based format, guiding you through priority questions, SATA items, and clinical calculations so you build judgement rather than memorizing lists.
Why it matters
Passing the NCLEX-PN unlocks state licensure for roles in hospitals, long-term care, clinics, and home health.
Nurses face information overload; AI-guided coaching keeps you focused on the clinical reasoning patterns the exam scores heavily.
Licensed practical and vocational nurses earn median pay near $55k with steady demand across every state (source: BLS).
Salary & job outlook
BLS data projects 5% growth in LPN roles through 2032, with higher wages in government and home healthcare settings.
Eligibility
- Graduate of an approved practical nursing program
