2018 LPN/VN Practice Analysis: Linking the NCLEX-PN Examination to Practice (Vol. 75)
This periodic performance of practice analyses (i.e., job analysis) studies assists NCSBN in evaluating the validity of the test plan that guides content distribution of the licensure examination.

NCLEX Examinations Webinar Series: 2019 NCLEX-RN Test Plan Overview
To ensure public protection, each jurisdiction requires candidates for registered nurse licensure to meet set requirements that include passing an examination that measures the competencies needed to perform safely and effectively as a newly licensed, entry-level registered nurse. Triennially, NCSBN conducts a practice analysis to analyze entry-level RN practice. Using the data collected from the practice analysis, the NCLEX Test Plan is developed, which guides the selection of content and behaviors to be tested during NCLEX administration. This webinar will provide an overview of the 2019 NCLEX-RN Test Plan, including new information effective with the test plan revision.
