    Comfort Aid items may be brought into the testing center and do not require a pre-approval or a formal accommodation. Some examples include auto injectors such as EpiPens, hearing aids, inhalers, and glucose tablets. These items are visually inspected by the testing administrator before being allowed into the testing room. Some medical devices such as insulin pumps are considered Comfort Aids if they are attached to the body and do not produce sound. If the candidate's device produces sound, they should request an accommodation with their NRB, who would approve a separate testing room as the sound could potentially distract other candidates.

    Dickison notes, “Instead of continuing to perform practice analyses the way we’ve always done them, I said let’s start over. Rather than starting from the assumption that nurses do certain things, let’s go out and watch them. We sent out crews of people all over the U.S. to major medical centers, to doctors’ offices, to long-term care facilities, etc. These crews watched round the clock and recorded what nurses were really doing. Not what we thought they were doing, not we assumed they were doing and not what any other group has told us they were doing.

Issues started to evolve, we started to see some of the problems with it, and the way it was created, and it really was a learning process. And one of the things that became very, very difficult was rulemaking.
