The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) plans to begin using new question types in the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) in April 2023. As preparation for these upcoming changes, NCSBN, in partnership with Minnesota State, is holding two overview sessions.
These NSCBN overview sessions will be a detailed review of the various changes coming to the NCLEX-RN and NCLEX-PN exams, effective April 2023, including the rationales and research behind the changes.
