For more than 40 years, NCSBN has served as a leader in nursing regulation. NCSBN is the vehicle through which nursing regulatory bodies act and counsel together on matters of common interest and concern affecting public health, safety and welfare. This video provides a brief history of NCSBN and explains what the organization does and how it achieves its mission of public protection.

The Next Generation NCLEX exam is about asking better questions to help nurses think critically when providing care to a client.

To meet today’s client needs, improved measurement of the nurse’s clinical judgment is critical. At NCSBN, we are dedicated to assessing, and adapting to, the rapidly evolving health care environment, that’s why we are developing Next Generation NCLEX.
