Abstract

The NCLEX-RN Test Plan has been revised. The test plan retains "Client Needs" as the major content dimension and integrates "Phases of the Nursing Process" into all areas. Client Needs are divided into four categories. The four categories are divided further into a total of 10 subcategories that will be used to determine the percentage of questions on each candidate's examination. The authors describe the changes to the NCLEX-RN Test Plan and implications for nursing educators.
