NCLEX® Examination Item Development
NCSBN depends on practicing nurses to assist in
the NCLEX® item development process. Panel members travel to Chicago (all
expenses paid) to write or review test items for the NCLEX® examination. On
site training is provided. As an NCLEX® panel member you not only have the
opportunity to earn contact hours, but also to network with your nursing
colleagues on a national level.
To qualify,
you must be a registered nurse (RN) or a licensed practical/vocational nurse (LPN/VN)
in the jurisdiction where you practice. Specific requirements for the volunteer
panels also include:
- Item Writers must be a RN or LPN/VN
for the NCLEX-PN® exam and a RN with a masters degree or higher for
the NCLEX-RN® exam; and be responsible for teaching
basic/undergraduate students in the clinical area.

Item
Reviewers must be a RN or LPN/VN for the NCLEX-PN® exam and a RN for the NCLEX-RN®
exam; and currently employed in a clinical setting, working directly with nurses
who have entered practice within the last 12 months.
Panels are held throughout the year. This is your
opportunity to contribute to the continued excellence of the nursing
profession. You can apply today online at
