The NCLEX is designed to test the knowledge, skills and abilities essential to safe and effective entry-level nursing practice. The process of developing one item (question) for the NCLEX-PN requires multiple steps over a 12 to 18-month period and involves many qualified volunteers to write and review items.
NCSBN is currently recruiting qualified nurses to serve on upcoming 2018 NCLEX-PN Item Review and Item Writing panels. The volunteers who participate on these panels are an integral part of the item development process, and we need your help in recruiting nurses for this program.
Following are just a few of the benefits of attending NCSBN item development panels:
- An opportunity to contribute to promoting continued excellence in the nursing profession.
- Networking with colleagues across the U.S.
- Learning new skills to use in your current position and for continued professional growth.
- Earning continuing education contact hours (CEUs).
The qualifications required for nurses interested in participating in the Item Development Program are outlined in the NCLEX Item Development brochure and webinar on our website.
