  • 2016_NCLEX_Fact_Sheet.pdf

    These steps typically include: n Graduating from a recognized nursing program, n Meeting the specific requirements of the state board of nursing, and n Passing the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) NCLEX® examination for registered nurses (RNs) or licensed practical/vocational nurses (LPN/VNs). Because passing the NCLEX is usually the final step in the nurse licensure process, the number of people passing the NCLEX (“pass rate”) is a good indicator of how many new nurses are entering the profession in the U.S. These tables provide the most recent data on the NCLEX testing volume and the associated pass rates.

  • Committees | NCSBN

    Most National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) objectives are accomplished by committees. All NCSBN members are eligible for committee membership. Many of NCSBN's objectives are accomplished through the committee process. NCSBN strives to achieve balanced representation whenever possible among area, staff and board members, registered and licensed professional/vocational nurses, and consumers. The time commitment is a two-year appointment, with committees meeting 2-3 times per year. There are also opportunities to serve on ad hoc committees and task forces. The Leadership Succession Committee, an elected committee, is charged to present a slate of candidates for inclusion on a ballot for the election of NCSBN Leadership.

  • Distance Education | NCSBN

    Learn about distance education requirements for prelicensure and APRN nursing programs, including host‑state rules and faculty licensure needs across jurisdictions. When that happens, the host state/territory (located outside the home state) might have its own rules or regulations, in addition to those from the home state/territory, which the nursing program must follow to be in compliance.  Additionally, if the home state is not part of the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC), nurse faculty may need a license in all host states where students take either didactic or clinical courses. Likewise, even if faculty are located in a home state that is part of the NLC, they may need a license in all non-NLC host states where students are taking didactic or clinical courses.

  • Transition to Practice | NCSBN

    The inability of new nurses to properly transition into new practice can have grave consequences. There is a need for best practices of training new nurses that can be replicated across the country to ensure consistent quality of care, and drop the alarming turnover rates of new nurses. Additionally, the Institute of Medicine in its Oct. 5, 2010, "Future of Nursing" report calls for the implementation and evaluation of nursing residency programs.

  • 2019TriReg_Plenary-Panel.pdf

    I saw Dr. Hogue and he told me I was OK and would get better. Dr. Hogue hardly examined me and did not do anything for me. He was rude and threw a clipboard at me. The nurse at the Emergency admitting desk always asks me about my Medicaid as if that is a problem. Dr. Hogue discriminated against me because of Medicaid. • Three days later I was worse. Another doctor did a chest x-ray and found that I had pneumonia. I took antibiotics for 10 days and missed work. That would not have happened if Dr. Hogue had given me antibiotics earlier.
