In 2024, NCSBN conducted the PN and RN Practice Analyses to inform the development of the 2026 NCLEX-PN and NCLEX-RN Test Plans. The periodic performance of practice analysis (i.e., job analysis) studies assists NCSBN in evaluating the validity of the NCLEX test plan that guides content distribution of the licensure examinations. This session discusses the results of the 2024 Practice Analyses and pending updates to the NCLEX test plans that will be effective April 2026.
