The purpose of quarterly NCLEX data reporting is to provide a review of Florida’s NCLEX progress over a three month period. The Florida Center for Nursing publishes quarterly reports to assist communities to track Florida’s first-attempt NCLEX pass rates and compare performance across quarters and against national benchmarks.
These data represent first-attempt NCLEX-PN and NCLEX-RN pass rates received from the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) via the Florida Board of Nursing. NCLEX data is evaluated by calendar year and not academic year.

The Florida Center for Nursing convened various groups representative of nurses, other health care providers, business and industry partners, consumers, lawmakers, and educators to review and comment on NCLEX data analysis and highlight key findings from FCN’s Florida’s Nursing Education Program Report for academic years 2020-2021 and 2021-2022. Workshops were conducted across the northern, central, and southern regions of the state. Participants explored and identified strategies to: – increase the number of nursing faculty and clinical preceptors in Florida, – increase Florida’s nursing workforce, and – improve Florida’s NCLEX pass rates. The insights gathered and summarized in the report will inform the Florida Center for Nursing’s strategic plan moving forward.
