The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) is currently recruiting qualified nurses to serve on upcoming item review and item writing panels for the NCLEX-RN examinations.
Volunteers who participate on these panels are an integral part of the item development process. Qualification requirements are outlined in the NCLEX Item Development brochure. Please note: all volunteer opportunities are to be held at the NCSBN office in Chicago, and all travel expenses are covered.
The NCLEX-RN is designed to test the knowledge, skills and abilities essential to safe and effective nursing practice at the entry level. The process of developing exam items (questions) requires multiple steps and involves many qualified volunteer nurses to write and review items.
The following are just a few of the benefits of attending NCSBN item development panels:
- Contributing to the promotion of continued excellence in the nursing profession
- Networking opportunities with colleagues on a national and international level
- Build new skills for professional growth
- Receive verification of continuing education contact hours
