  • NCSBN Research Projects Significant Nursing Workforce Shortages and Crisis | 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. Further, high levels of turnover were seen with the potential for even further declines in a post-pandemic nursing workplace as disruptions in prelicensure nursing programs have also raised concerns about the supply and clinical preparedness of new nurse graduates. Early career data for new entrants into the profession suggest decreased practice and assessment proficiency. Coupled with large declines among nursing support staff, NCSBN calls for significant action to foster a more resilient and safe U.S. nursing workforce moving forward. “The data is clear: the future of nursing and of the U.S. health care ecosystem is at an urgent crossroads,” said Maryann Alexander, PhD, RN, FAAN, NCSBN Chief Officer of Nursing Regulation.

    This diagram illustrates steps used in the development of the NCLEX exam. The NCLEX item development process is a multifaceted process adhering to the standards outlined in professional test development. The exam process starts at the top with the review of the nursing scope of practice. The scope of nursing practice provides the foundation for the NCLEX item development process by identifying activities that can be performed by an entry-level nurse. I'll briefly review each step within the item development process. To summarize, after the practice analysis and test plan development, items are developed by volunteer- nurse educators at item writing panels.

    To accomplish this study, a retrospective longitudinal cohort study of nurses participating in SUD programs between the years 2007 and 2015 was conducted. Data was collected from programs in 13 states and these are states that were monitored by Affinity eHealth, which was the vendor that provided an analysis file for us containing over 7,000 nurses. To the best of our abilities, the study replicated the reporting and classification methods that were used in the studies of the PHP programs. It is especially important to note that this study assumes that program completion is in and of itself a good outcome that is highly correlated with successful return to practice by nurses.
