| Popis: | Recently, the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) announced the addition of a special research section of the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX®) to collect data on new items that could “expand or enhance measurement of entry-level nursing competency including clinical judgment” ( National Council of State Boards of Nursing, 2019b ). While the licensure examination has always assessed graduates’ ability to utilize clinical judgment, the measurements to determine the graduate’s clinical judgment have evolved. NCSBN’s proposed revisions to the licensure examination, often referred to as Next Generation NCLEX®, are designed to better assess and evaluate clinical judgment for entry-level practice. This article provides a brief overview of what is currently understood about Next Generation NCLEX® and describes how the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) Standards and Criteria can be used to help faculty proactively prepare students for practice and the licensure examination. Even if a program’s historical pass rates have been at the national mean or minimally 80% or higher, it is time to be proactive and prepare for the potential Next Generation NCLEX®. |
