The NCLEX® and REx-PN® Program Reports are electronic reports that provide a wealth of statistics about the performance of the graduates from a particular nursing education program. The Reports are created using the responses provided by a program's graduates during their NCLEX® and REx-PN® administration and are the only source of information about the performance of a program's graduates at the topic level which use actual NCLEX® and REx-PN® data.

The NCLEX® and REx-PN® Program Reports are designed to help nursing program administrators and educators understand how their graduates performed on the NCLEX® and REx-PN® at the topic level. They are a vital source of information for program evaluation and program improvement. Educators use the Reports to identify strengths and opportunities, track program growth, reform curriculum, and modify instructional methodology.

Since each educational program graduates a different set of students, the NCLEX® and REx-PN® Program Reports are specific to each educational program. The information provided in the NCLEX® and REx-PN® Program Reports describes the performance of the group of students graduating from an educational program. They do not provide information about the performance of individual students.

The NCLEX® and REx-PN® Program Reports are online reports which can be viewed by registered users linked to nursing education programs that have purchased a subscription. The reports can be exported as a PDF file. This format makes it easy to provide information to key stakeholders about the strengths and opportunities of a nursing program.

As long as a program remains current with their subscription, registered users linked to that program will have access to current as well as all historic data pertaining to their graduates going back to 2013 (where applicable). Programs that lapse in their subscription can reinstate their current status for an additional reinstatement fee.
