The Missouri Just Culture Collaborative brought together health-care providers, regulators, and other key stakeholders to learn and implement the principles of Just Culture. Under the leadership of the Missouri Center for Patient Safety, 67 health-care providers and regulatory agencies worked together to implement aspects of Just Culture. The collaborative led to an improved understanding between providers and regulators about barriers to implementing true Just Culture and how regulators can support provider efforts to improve the safety culture.

Promoting clear communication and information sharing among nurse regulatory bodies is an essential step toward protecting patients worldwide. The research described in this article was intended to enhance global information sharing among nurse regulators, aid the development of a system that efficiently validates nurses' eligibility, and thus manage risk associated with increasing nurse migration, and allow recognition of best practices.

This multisite study examines the impact of multiple-patient simulation experiences on the development of students' abilities to make clinical judgments in evolving situations and the correlation between the design of the simulation and student outcome achievement in the final semester of their prelicensure nursing program.

Summary data for multiple categories of candidates, U.S. and international, is provided for performance on NCSBN's two nurse licensure examinations, the NCLEX-PN and NCLEX-RN.

These are complex times for regulators on nursing boards, particularly in three areas.  First, they must stay abreast of emerging practice issues emanating from technological advances, systems thinking, a more diverse patient population living longer with multiple chronic illnesses, and a national focus on patient safety and error prevention.  Second, there has been a national call for the transformation of nursing education, and nursing boards are seeing increasing numbers of substandard or fraudulent nursing education programs.  This adds to the boards’ workload.  Third, disciplinary activity involving nurses has increased during the last 10 years, forcing regulations to stay on their toes regarding disciplinary action and investigation.  In this challenging climate, the time is ripe to focus on evidence-based regulation as a strategy for making quality decisions related to regulation.

This study is to identify the knowledge needed by newly-licensed LPN/VNs. The results of this study (i.e., the important knowledge statements) will be used to inform item development. (© 2010)

With a wealth of helpful guidelines and assessment tools, Nursing Pathways for Patient Safety makes it easy to identify the causes of practice breakdowns and to reduce health care errors.

• Pamela K. Randolph of the Arizona Board of Nursing discusses how economic factors have affected predictions of a nursing shortage
• Frank D. Hicks of the Rush University College of Nursing describes the questions faculty must consider when developing a master’s entry program
• The NSCBN Simulation Study is outlined and an update on the Transition to Practice Pilot Program is discussed
• Get to know Philip Dickison, the new director of NCLEX Examinations

This article discusses the importance of developing a national, standardized program, implemented through regulation, for transitioning all newly licensed nursing graduates to practice.

While simulation in nursing programs continues to increase, it is important to understand the prevalence of this new technology in nursing education, how this technology is utilized, and how educators are preparing to teach with this educational tool.  This article reports on the results of a survey conducted by the 歐美口爆 of 11,060 pre-licensure nursing programs in the United States as a means of describing use of simulation.
