  • NCSBN Launches Next Generation NCLEX Exam | NCSBN

    The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) is a not-for-profit organization whose purpose is to provide an organization through which boards of nursing act and counsel together on matters of common interest and concern affecting the public health, safety and welfare, including the development of licensing examinations in nursing. Entry-level nurses are required to make increasingly complex decisions while delivering patient care. These decisions often require the use of clinical judgment to care for patients safely and effectively. Philip Dickison, PhD, RN, chief operating officer, NCSBN, notes, “Because clinical judgment underlies almost all of a nurse’s activities, it is of paramount importance to NCSBN. We need to be able to measure it effectively to safeguard public protection. We need to help ensure that when a regulatory body licenses a nurse to practice, they are safe to care for you and your loved ones.”

And so, the focus changing to the patient. The Assessment within the RN and LPN Scope of Practice. We looked at and spoke with LPN experts as I was mentioning earlier, the discussion on this topic. Also looked at the definitions of focused and comprehensive assessments, both involving collection, analysis and synthesis of data.
