Volunteers are selected for multiple types of meetings including:

  •  Item Writing and Review - Item writers create the items that are used for the NNAAP examination and review existing exam items 
  • Standard Setting - Participants recommend potential NNAAP passing standards to the NCSBN Examinations Department

Benefits of Participation:

  • Earn continuing education credits 
  • Contribute to continued excellence in the nursing profession 
  • Have an opportunity to network on a national level 
  • Build new skills that are useful at work as well as for professional growth
