Nursing Council Of Kenya Past papers with answers (Degree and Diploma)

Preparation and revision for the Nursing Council Of Kenya licensure examinations can be a daunting task if not done effectively.

Effective and productive revision requires good and concise revision materials to give you all the accurate and reliable content and past examination papers to give you a glimpse and idea of the most commonly set and tested areas.

Accessing all the past papers is one task and answering all of the questions with correct answers together with their rationales is another task. Both of these can seem unachievable in a short time but Medcrine has eased the way to do it. We have taken a chance to collect all the past papers and their questions, answered them correctly, and included their rationales.

Structure of the online Nursing Council Licensure Examination.

To get a glimpse of the structure of these questions let's have a rough overview of the exam.

Initially, candidates sat for four exam papers, that is; paper one to paper four, over two examination days. However, since the outbreak of the covid pandemic, the Nursing Council of Kenya shifted the structure of the questions and the method of answering them to an online examination.
