    Reward Circuitry of the Brain The mesolimbic pathways connect the brainstem and periph- eral nervous system responsible for automatic body functions, and the limbic areas of the brain responsible for emotions to the prefrontal cortex, where thinking and decision making take place. Intellectually, people know that happiness does not come in a bottle, pill, or morsel. Unfortunately, the brain’s reward circuitry does not know it. In fact, what underlies addiction is reward (see Figure 1). ...

A panel of subject matter experts consisting of PN Educators, PN Clinicians and Nurse regulators was convened to compare the activity statements included in the 2018 LPN/VN Practice Analysis to the elements of the NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement Model (NCJMM).

  •  Executive Officer (EO) Succession Planning Toolkit | NCSBN

    The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) is a not-for-profit organization whose purpose is to provide an organization through which boards of nursing act and counsel together on matters of common interest and concern affecting the public health, safety and welfare, including the development of licensing examinations in nursing. It is crucial that the NRB and its staff members be involved in this process to provide input for a successful transition. There are many pitfalls that the NRB could fall into. The link provided in the Executive Transition Management series provides a good overview of the common pitfalls involved in any high-level candidate search. The strategic plan and the NRB’s and staff’s self-assessments will help set the direction for the NRB and help determine the competencies needed in the new EO.

  • PDF File Technical Brief #1.qxd

    When improvements in computer technology made it possible to ana- lyze enormous bodies of literature and produce frequencies for every word encountered, databases of relative word frequency were created. Once these databases existed, it was possible to use them prospectively to identify the average word difficulty for a particular text. The number of syllables in a word was a good proxy for how difficult it was to read and understand, but it did not quite match the understandability-recognition notion of word difficulty. Obscure words like furl, glib, gape and squib (one syllable) would be considered much easier than words like understanding, remembering, disagreement and hesitation (four syllables).
