NCSBN Revises Definition of Entry-level Nurse
August 6, 2014 - The National Council of State Boards of Nursing
(NCSBN) Board of Directors has approved a revised definition of the
entry-level nurse in the NCLEX environment, which was the result of
analysis leading to the question of what constitutes the length of the
entry-level period. The designation of entry-level will now be defined
as a nurse having no more than 12 months of experience; previously it
was defined as a nurse having no more than six months of experience.
