The National Council of State Boards of Nursing, Inc. (NCSBN) revealed that it has voted to raise the passing standard for the NCLEX-RN examination in an announcement released Monday.
Coinciding with the new NCLEX-RN test plan, the new passing standard will take effect April 1, 2007.
The new passing standard is -0.2100 logits on the NCLEX-RN logistic scale, 0.070 logits higher than the previous standard of -0.2800.
The NCSBN Board of Directors evaluates the passing standard for the NCLEX-RN examination every three years to protect the public by ensuring minimal competence for entry-level RNs.
