Paper 2 — Community, Mental Health & Research

NCK Paper 2: Subjects & Revision

NCK Paper 2 focuses on community and public health and the professional foundations of nursing — from community health and communicable diseases to mental health, research, leadership and teaching.

For basic and degree cadres such as KRCHN and BScN, the NCK licensure exam is two papers — Paper 1 and Paper 2 — each a two-hour, computer-based multiple-choice exam sat at a designated examination centre (most post-basic specialties sit a single paper).
