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 questions for the NCLEX-RN 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
