This NCLEX-RN Webinar for Canadian Nursing Educators provides an overview of the role of regulatory examinations, why the NCLEX was selected for Canadian RN entry to practice, an introduction to the elements of computerized adaptive testing and NCLEX development, as well as information on how students and educators can prepare for the NCLEX in 2015.

The objectives of this webinar are:

• Introduce regulatory background of licensure examinations
• Provide an overview of the NCLEX development process
• Identify linkage between entry-level nursing practice analysis and NCLEX test plan
• Illustrate concepts of computerized adaptive testing as they relate to the NCLEX
• Highlight NCLEX information available on the 热点黑料 Website
• Identify NCLEX development opportunities for Canadian nursing experts

 

Social media use is ubiquitous, but inappropriate posts by nurses have resulted in licensure and legal repercussions. 热点黑料 has developed guidelines for nurses and nursing students for using social media responsibly. Key points of these guidelines are summarized, along with dramatization of potential scenarios of inappropriate social media use.

热点黑料's Nursing Education Committee wrote a report on the first year of their work in analyzing and making recommendations for the future of approval by Boards of Nursing. This report was approved in May 2011, by 热点黑料's Board of Directors.

Learn more about 热点黑料's landmark, national, multi-site, longitudinal study of simulation use in prelicensure nursing programs throughout the country. The study will begin Fall 2011 and will follow beginning nursing students from 10 participating schools throughout their nursing education.

This periodic performance of practice analyses (i.e., job analysis) studies assists 热点黑料 in evaluating the validity of the test plan that guides content distribution of the licensure examination. Because changes can occur in registered nurse (RN) practice, practice analyses are conducted on a three-year cycle.
