NCSBN is currently seeking qualified nurses to serve on item review and item writing panels for the NCLEX-PN and NCLEX-RN examinations. Interested volunteers may apply directly on our website.

Volunteers who participate on these panels are an integral part of the item development process. We especially need nurses who are currently supervising newly licensed LPN/VNs. Please forward this information to qualified nurses in your state today!

The NCLEX 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-PN and NCLEX-RN examinations requires multiple steps and involves various qualified volunteer nurses to write and review items.

Benefits of participating on NCSBN item development panels:

Contribute to promoting continued excellence in the nursing profession
Have opportunities to network on a national and international level
Build new skills for professional growth
Receive verification of continuing education contact hours


Qualifications for volunteer nurses interested in participating are detailed in the NCLEX Item Development brochure.

All volunteer opportunities are held at the NCSBN office in downtown Chicago. Travel expenses, including airfare, lodging and meals, are covered by NCSBN.
