    The item sets that Emily presented in the previous session were created using action models. What I'd like to highlight in this talk is the research that went into the scoring models, which are ways to interpret the raw responses for the content. Beginning the scoring research was a major milestone for the NGN project. After years of theoretical research on clinical judgment, collecting data through small- scale studies, focus groups, usability studies, cognitive labs with students, expert nurses, nurse educators, nurse clinicians, we finally reached the point of collecting data on a large scale. https://www.ncsbn.org/14397.htm ©2020 National Council of State Boards of Nursing, Inc.

This session will provide an update on the successful launch of the Next Generation NCLEX that took place on April 1st, 2023. As you all know, this project has been a long time in coming. Research started over a decade ago to get us to this important occasion. We'd really like to thank the numerous students, educators, and clinicians that volunteered their time to support this project. This would not have been possible if not for your great dedication to the nursing profession.

    NCSBN Examinations is conducting research projects to determine whether clinical judgment and decision making in nursing practice can be reliably assessed through the use of innovative item types (questions). This initiative is called the Next Generation NCLEX® project, or NGN. The NGN was originally featured in the Spring 2018 issue of Leader To Leader. The NGN consists of several phases of research, which are delineated in the model below. If the evidence during any individual step indicates that potential innovations will not support the rigor and quality of the NCLEX, the project will be reexamined at all levels.
