2024 RN Practice Analysis: Linking the NCLEX-RN Examination to Practice

- Description
The periodic performance of practice analysis (i.e., job analysis) studies assists NCSBN in evaluating the validity of the NCLEX-RN test plan, which guides content distribution of the licensure examination. This publication analyzes entry-level registered nurse (RN) practice in U.S. and Canada testing populations, including the relevance of clinical judgment in the performance of nursing activities. Because changes can occur in RN practice, practice analyses are conducted on a three-year cycle.
