The 2021 NCSBN Environmental Scan represents a systematic and continuous effort to search for information about how nursing is evolving, and what that means for the future of nursing regulation. A variety of sources have been used to compile this document. Of course, this publication represents a mere snapshot in time of the world around us - both inside and outside of nursing regulation. It was distributed as a supplement to the Journal of Nursing Regulation in January 2021.

More specifically this webinar will discuss:

• What does DIF mean?
• How to detect items with DIF?
• Who reviews DIF items?

The webinar will provide an overview of the Item development process.

To ensure public protection, each province requires graduates for practical nursing to meet set requirements that include passing an examination that measures the competencies needed to perform safely and effectively as a new entry-level  Practical Nurse (LPN/RPN). Every five years in collaboration with British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM) and College of Nursing of Ontario (CNO), NCSBN conducts a practice analysis to analyze entry-level LPN/RPNs Canadian practice. Using the data collected from the practice analysis, the REx-PN Test Plan is developed, which guides the selection of content and behaviors to be tested during REx-PN administration. This webinar will provide an overview of the 2019 REx-PN Practice Analysis and the 2022 REx-PN Test Plan.

Webinar attendees will be provided with updates on the Next Generation NCLEX project (NGN). Topics covered include an overview of the NCSBN clinical judgment measurement model (NCJMM), an in-depth explanation of Layer 4 and how it fits into the action model.
