The NCLEX^® Program Reports Panel of Experts provides vision, leadership, and insight to the creators and producers of the NCLEX^® Program Reports. The Panel is comprised of experienced nursing educators with a passion for continuous program improvement.

Mountain Measurement plans to add 3 new panelists for 2020. Individuals with expertise in program evaluation, assessment or accreditation are invited to apply. Canadian input is greatly needed, so Canadian educators are encouraged to apply.

This is an excellent opportunity to shape nursing education on a national and international level. The obligations are minimal and the potential is remarkable. Current panelist Judith Pelletier indicated "Unlike attending a conference, participation in the Panel provides the opportunity to work with colleagues and accomplish something that we can share with the nursing education community."

For more information check out the NCLEX Program Reports Panel of Experts: Panelist Description. Interested parties should inquire with [email protected] by December 16.

Although this opportunity may not be right for you, I'm confident that you know someone that should be sharing their knowledge and experience with other nursing educators. We'd appreciate it if you could forward this email to them and suggest that they apply.
