    We will use your responses and the ability estimate to determine the item difficulties of the new items. The maximum length exam will have 130 operational items and then 15 pretest items. The exam can stop with the minimum number of items if your ability is far above or below the passing standard. This means when you respond to 60 operational items, the computer knows that you will definitely pass or fail the exam. There is no need for you to respond to more questions, so the computer terminates the exam. If your ability is very close to the passing standard, you will be given a longer exam because the computer needs to collect more information about your ability to make the pass-fail decision.

After the 2008 NCLEX-PN® Test Plan was approved, the current LPN/VN passing standard was evaluated in the fall of 2007.

    Since the 2021–2022 aggregate report, the direct care clinical hours, a quality indicator for nursing programs (Spector et al., 2020), have varied, depending on the program type. While the hours are consistent for accelerated BSN students, they have decreased for LPN/VN, bachelor’s, and master’s entry programs. There has been a big drop in direct patient care hours for diploma programs (612 hours in 2021–2022 versus 414.91 hours in 2023–2024).

We must think about how we write the playbook for the future. One of the lessons I believe we have all stepped away with is the impact of compact licensure, and how it can help us move staff when the needs arises.”

That one was a common one. And then here you see a few more listed as well. So after we recognize that there are some changes that need to be made to our items, we do many corrective actions.
