Fact sheets provide volume and pass rate data for both U.S. and international candidates. Information is provided for performance on NCSBN's two nurse licensure examinations, the NCLEX-PN and NCLEX-RN.

Boards of nursing (BONs) protect the public by conducting criminal background checks (CBCs) at the time of licensure. CBCs may be conducted at the state or federal level, and may be based on name, social security number, fingerprints or by another state-specific method. ÐÔÊӽ紫ýhas launched the state and federal fingerprint-based CBC Call to Action initiative to promote uniformity across all states.

Instances of fraud involving licensure applications and credentials are experienced by most Boards of Nursing (BONs). Types of fraud can vary from failure to disclose discipline or disciplinary investigations to false identity to false or altered nursing license. Denial of license or renewal licensure occurs as a result of application fraud.

The Education Consultant role in nursing regulatory bodies (NRBs) is complex and these tools should assist you in learning about the role. Many of the resources here were developed by experienced Education Consultants who remember what it was like being new to the role.

The intention of the toolkit is to provide a starting point for conversation and assessment between the NRB and its EO. EOs, presidents and members all have different comfort levels and different relationships depending on the individuals involved. EOs leave for a variety of reasons – planned retirement, career change and even involuntary separation. NRBs obviously have different structures that may provide limitations in notice; differing state hiring processes; varying restrictions regarding input into job descriptions, performance evaluations and feedback; and constraints on who participates in the selection process. Each of these factors should be considered when drafting the short-term and long-term succession plans.
