Over the course of a year, NCSBN invites nurses from all geographic areas and practice settings using REx-PN to participate on REx-PN Item Development Panels (Practice Analysis, item writing, item review, Regulatory Body Review and Panel of Judges [POJ] for Standard Setting Process).
To participate in the item development process, experienced nurse volunteers must educate nursing students in the clinical setting or work directly with entry-level nurses and be familiar with entry-level nursing knowledge. Input from entry-level nurses is sought out in areas of the item development process, such as the Practice Analysis and the POJ for Standard Setting.
