| Abstract: |
The National Certification Board of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners and Nurses (NCBPNP/N) is responsible for developing, maintaining, and administering the general pediatric nursing certification examination. A key feature is to ensure that the template used to construct the examination is formulated on the basis of current practice in pediatric nursing. Changes in health care require that a formal examination be conducted every 7-10 years to assess current practice and revise the test specifications as indicated. The purpose of this study was to identify the roles and responsibilities of the general pediatric nurse as a first step in continuing the job-related certification examination program. The purpose was to also analyze areas of knowledge, skill, and ability for pediatric nurses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
