    Every item is pre-tested before it's placed on an exam for scoring purposes. This is our opportunity to gather statistical data to make sure that the item is functioning well. And this data is used to evaluate the items and to ensure that everything is accurate and that it's a good fit for the NCLEX exam. So, the RN and PN exam both have 15 pre-test items. They're randomly intermixed into the exam. Candidates are not aware which items are pre-test items and which ones are actually scored. They are not scored, so they are not used to measure a candidate's ability.

    And I think Jim, together with Alicia and Rachel and our ICRS staff, are going to be just a dynamite team. We have two new individuals that are a head of the certificate program, Amy Lippert and Sherri Ter Molen. They both have tremendous experience in education, and so be looking for many good things ahead with this department. And just to tell you, besides ICRS, I'm going to talk a little bit about that in a minute, but this new department is also going to focus on developing leadership skills throughout our entire membership, increasing your networking opportunities, increasing the opportunities for members to participate in NCSBN.

    And today, I'm going to share some stories of discipline challenges during the COVID pandemic. As most of us know during the pandemic, there was a scramble to find qualified nurses, and all states were in the same situation. So, many states issued executive orders or waivers that allowed nurses that were licensed in good standing in one state to pretty much practice in any state without the risk of civil or criminal penalty related to that lack of licensure. This presented some unique investigation and discipline challenges. I'm going to describe two real-life cases for you and how we can have solutions to those.

    Now, as you are aware, I have raised the issue of educational programs before, and hence working with the education policy community becomes, as a result of COVID, even more of an imperative. Advocating for education programs that focus exclusively on nursing content that articulates across levels from support worker, to licensed practical nurse, to registered nurse, and then onto advanced practice, may be a good starting point. Such an approach would, as has been shown in other countries, help diversify the workforce and provide a ladder of progress, lifting people out of poverty, and providing the workforce that we need to meet access to service gaps. What about graduation rates?

    However, our study shows by proper monitoring and discipline, we found that the recidivental rate for nurses who had a criminal conviction is not significantly higher compared to the nurses who committed a violation without criminal conviction history. It's a little surprising, but however, I think that's a good sign that it shows the current procedures taken by the boards are useful in reducing the errors. But however, we have to say, even though we do not find a significantly discipline rate for the nurses who committed criminal conviction compared to the nurses without this history.

    If your ability is very low, we still can find very easy items for you. The CAT exams are challenging for all test takers. If you take a CAT exam and start to see difficult items, that means your ability estimate is getting high, and you may have a good chance to pass the exam. Every time you respond to an item, the computer re- estimates your ability based on all questions you have answered. And according to the updated ability estimate, the computer finds you the matching item for you to answer.

    1. What is the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) and how does it work? The NLC enables an RN or LPN/VN who has primary state of residence (PSOR) in an NLC state to hold one multistate license which is valid for practice in all NLC states, whether the practice is in person or via telehealth.

    The following scenarios are case examples excerpted with permission from the August 2011 white paper, A Nurse’s Guide to the Use of Social Media by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing. These are based on reported events to Boards of Nursing, and depict inappropriate usage of electronic and social media. The outcomes varied from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Scenario 1 Bob, a licensed practical/vocational (LPN/VN) nurse with 20 years of experience used his cell phone to take pictures of a resident in the group home where he worked. Prior to taking the photo, Bob asked the resident’s brother if it was okay for him to take the photo.
