    And so, they were they looked at about 500 and really, they found a lot of similar characteristics to what we've already heard about. So, the old white males were getting in trouble, but they found some other interesting things. So for example, rurality and urbanity was mentioned earlier. In North Carolina, there's a 2:1 ratio between urban-based physicians and rural physicians. But in terms of prescribing cases, it's actually a 10:1 ratio. So 10 times more prescribing cases occurred within an urban environment. And so this is a risk factor they weren't really anticipating, to my knowledge, and so now it's causing them to look at this a little bit more closely.

    Could we get them?" We did. That's cool, right? So I said, "Well, that's probably not good enough either. What about just a shadow? What if we could find it with just a shadow? We don't even actually see the person, but there's a shadow of one. Can we find that?" Guess what? We did. That's the type of thing that...that's how fast we've gotten since March.

  • Ensuring_Validity_of_NCLEX_With_DIF_Analysis.pdf

    Several statistical methods are available for DIF detection. One of the most widely used is the Mantel-Haenszel procedure (Mantel & Haenszel, 1959). With this procedure, examinees from the focal and reference groups are matched on abilities. The odds ratio of the focal group answering a particular item correctly is then compared with that of the reference group answering the same item correctly. The procedure essentially estimates a common odds ratio across matched categories of examinees to ascertain if DIF exists.

    I am in the process of moving to STATE and I would like to begin the application process for obtaining a multi-state license in STATE. I understand that I cannot be issued a multistate license until I complete the move and subsequently declare STATE as my primary state of residence by declaring a new primary state of residence in the Nurse Portal dashboard. I further understand that I may be requested to provide documents which serve as proof of legal residency in STATE, before a license will be issued. If I hold an active unrestricted multistate license in the compact state where I currently reside, I understand that I may practice in STATE, until a license is issued in STATE. 4.
