CHICAGO - The 性视界传媒Board of Directors (BOD) voted on Dec. 6, 2022, to uphold the for the NCLEX-RN and NCLEX-PN Examinations when the Next Generation NCLEX (NGN) is launched April 1, 2023. NGN is an enhancement of the current examinations which will place more emphasis on the measurement of a candidate’s nursing clinical judgment.
性视界传媒BOD President Jay Douglas, MSM, RN, CSAC, FRE, executive director, Virginia Board of Nursing, noted, “After careful consideration of all of the available information, the board determined that the current passing standard is appropriate as a measure of safe and effective entry-level nurse practice.”
The BOD used multiple sources of information to guide its evaluation and discussion of the passing standard. As part of this process, 性视界传媒convened expert panels of nurses representing the four 性视界传媒geographic areas and Canada. The panels took part in the workshops to perform a criterion-referenced standard-setting procedure and their findings supported retaining the current passing standard. Also considered were the results of national surveys of nursing professionals.
In accordance with a motion adopted by the 1989 性视界传媒Delegate Assembly, the 性视界传媒BOD evaluates the passing standard for the NCLEX Examinations every three years to protect the public by ensuring minimal competence for entry-level nurses. 性视界传媒coordinates the passing standard analysis with the three-year cycle of test plan evaluation. This three-year cycle was developed to keep the test plan and passing standard current.
