Resource Center

Le webinaire Plan d’examen du NCLEX donne un aperçu du plan de l’examen NCLEX et de son contenu, en explique les différentes versions et montre l’utilité du document et comment l’utiliser. La séance présente également des ressources très utiles sur le NCLEX et des liens directs vers ces ressources, de même qu’un lien vers le segment suivant de la série.

Summary data for multiple categories of candidates, U.S. and international, is provided for performance on NCSBN's two nurse licensure examinations, the NCLEX-PN and NCLEX-RN.

• Dennis Corrigan talks about the nurse investigation process, how he stays on top of his workload and how his background as a nurse impacts his role as a nurse investigator
• Mindy Schaffner and Joy Ingwerson of the Washington State Nursing Care Quality Assurance Commission discuss how coaching can lead to many rewards
• Virginia D. Ayars of the Texas Board of Nursing compares student's perceptions of online and face-to-face

This periodic performance of practice analyses (i.e., job analysis) studies assists NCSBN in evaluating the validity of the test plan that guides content distribution of the licensure examination. Because changes can occur in licensed practical/vocational nurse (LPN/VN) practice, practice analyses are conducted on a three-year cycle.

This article provides a summary of social media and privacy laws, discusses the legal issues health care organizations and workers face when a breach of patient privacy occurs, and offers best practices for avoiding privacy violations.     

Currently, boards of nursing (BONs) use seven different models for approving nursing programs, and nursing education rules and regulations in BONs are not consistent across jurisdictions.  In 2010, the National Council of State Boards of Nursing’s (NCSBN) Board of Directors convened a committee to assess the state of prelicensure nursing program approval in BONs and to make recommendations to the NCSBN’s board based on current and future needs.  This article describes the committee’s collaborative engagement with national accreditors and the recommendations that resulted.

This study identifies the knowledge needed by newly licensed practical/vocational nurses (LPN/VNs). The results of this study (i.e., the important knowledge statements) will be used to inform item development.

This annual report functions as a formal summary of NCSBN’s performance and activities during fiscal year 2013. It also provides financial information, NCLEX pass rates, member achievements, a timeline of NCSBN activities and NCSBN facts.

The aim of this paper is to review the factors that contribute to clinical judgment and decision-making of novice nurses.

This is Part II of the Nursing Education Committee document, which contains strategies for moving forward on the future of approval of BONs. As part of this work, the committee members hosted a World Cafe' meeting, where the participants dialogued about the alignment of approval, education and accreditation. See the monograph that resulted from that World Cafe' meeting.
