NCSBN depends on nurses to assist in the NCLEX and REx-PN item development process.

The first NGN session of the morning will be a demonstration highlighting how the NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement Model (NCJMM) has been applied to the development of NGN case studies, including new including new test items that will be used on the NGN.

During this session, a high-level overview will be provided based on the Next Generation NCLEX test design that incorporates clinical judgment. Information will be provided which highlights those aspects of the NCLEX that will remain the same and what will be changing. This session will provide the first glimpse into the new structure and design of the Next Generation NCLEX exam.

We will explore how the NCJMM has been applied to the development of standalone items that will be a part of the NGN.

This session will introduce the new scoring associated with the Next Generation NCLEX. All new scoring methods will be discussed, and examples provided of the new polytomous scoring methods that will be applied. Additionally, a high-level overview will be provided of the extension of the current Rasch scoring model that will be used to calibrate items to the NCLEX scale.

Looking for effective ways to apply the NCJMM in your classroom? We will partner with a nursing education expert to share concrete tips and techniques that educators can use to assess clinical judgment in classroom settings.
