    Therefore, Jesse emphasizes that, while an understanding of prevalent disease processes and associated nursing interventions is important, this must be coupled with the development of clinical judgment. Jesse highlights the challenges with providing optimal clinical experiences, such as scarcity of experiences, lack of access to medical records, and the focus on “task completion,” rather than on demonstrating practice competencies. We must, she says, accept the reality that the lack of meaningful clinical experiences hampers the development of competencies needed for safe practice, and she encourages aca- demia, practice and regulation to collaborate to establish a realistic expectation for new graduates so that they can provide safe and competent nursing care.

    But we would work with the nursing regulatory body to offer alternatives, so what we might offer would be high contrast or larger font on the computer screen. And just to give you an idea of another request that might be denied or would be denied would be a request for dictionary, so this would give an unfair advantage to candidates since knowing medical terminology is required for practice. But let's say the nursing regulatory body approves the request, NCSBN receives and approves the testing accommodation requests as well, the eligibility has been established, that candidate will also receive an Authorization to Test email just like any other candidate.

    Female candidates tend to outperform male candidates on these items. Based on the NCLEX triennial practice analyses, however, obstetrics and gynecology are within the scope of entry-level nursing practice and should be included in the examinations. Similarly, many items related to operating medical equipment favor male candi- dates. Although statistically significant for DIF, these items are appropriate for the NCLEX as long as they measure knowledge relevant to entry-level nursing practice. To determine if the items flagged for potential DIF are actually biased, they are forwarded to a subject matter expert panel for further content and language review.

    Cognizant of the changes in nursing education and the growing number of distance nursing education programs, NCSBN is working with BONs to reduce barriers and assist states in becoming more uniform in their requirements for distance education programs. The Role of Assistive Personnel (Nursing Assistants, Medical Assistants, Patient Care Technicians, Community Health Workers and Medication Aides) With the expansion of health insurance coverage for all Americans, an increased need for providers is anticipated. Often, during periods of nursing shortages, questions arise as to whether assistive personnel can substitute for LPN/VNs and/or RNs.
