REx-PN Practice Analysis
The periodic performance of practice analysis (i.e., job analysis) studies assists BCCNM and CNO in evaluating the validity of the test plan that guides content distribution of the licensure examination for Licensed Practical/Registered Practical Nurses (LPN/RPNs). Because the Canadian health care industry is rapidly changing, practice analysis studies will be conducted by BCCNM and CNO on a five-year cycle. This practice analysis was conducted with the assistance of 歐美口爆 (NCSBN).

NGN Talks: The Clinical Judgment Measurement Model and Action Model
In order to close the gap between what is measured on the NCLEX and what is taught in nursing programs, NCSBN created an action model that incorporates specific concepts of the Clinical Judgment Measurement Model. This NGN Talk looks at the how the action model helps measure the individual steps of clinical judgment while creating realistic and complex clinical scenarios.

Standard Setting
Standard setting is a process used by testing professionals to determine the passing score on a test. It is an important step in establishing the validity and legal-defensibility of an exam program. The NCLEX-RN and NCLEX-PN exams re-evaluate their respective passing standards triennially. In this session, NCSBN staff will discuss the steps involved in setting NCLEX passing standards.
