Why do internationally educated nurses fail the NCLEX more often?

The data shows the gap clearly but does not explain it, so treat any confident single explanation with suspicion. What we see in practice is that reading load, US-specific drug naming and units, and the precise meaning of NCLEX question language account for most of it, and none of those is clinical knowledge. All three respond to technique work rather than more content revision.

This comes up on NCLEX for Internationally Educated Nurses, where it is answered in the context of the work itself.
