Nursing home St. John Beaumont Detroit Receiving
William Beaumont Hospital The tower features spacious
rooms with enhanced patient privacy, accommodations to encourage family involvement in patient care and decentralized nursing stations to enhance patient access to nurses.
Patient rooms are clustered around a “team care station” where medical staff will gather to discuss and plan patient care with each other and with family members.
Family pantries and consultation rooms promote family involvement in care.
A nurse call system utilizing low-frequency cell phones provides patients with instant access to their caregivers.

NCLEX - Format
Computerized adaptive testing (CAT) Uses items with a variety of
response formats, such as: single response multiple
choice multiple response fill-in-the-blank drag and drop
And a variety of display formats chart/exhibit displays tables graphic images
No partial credit Min 75 questions, max 265 6 hours allotted time
“With CAT, each candidate's test is unique. It is assembled interactively as the individual is tested. When the candidate answers an item, the computer recalculates the candidate's ability estimate based on all the responses including the most recent response.
Next, the item bank which contains the available items classified by test plan content area and sorted by level of difficulty, is searched to find an item in the appropriate test plan area that best matches the candidate's ability. This item is selected and presented on the computer screen.
This process is repeated each time an item is administered, creating an examination tailored to the individual's ability while fulfilling the NCLEX test plan requirements. The examination continues in this way until a pass or fail decision can be made. CAT provides greater measurement efficiency as it administers only those items which will offer the best measurement of the candidate's ability.” - www.ncsbn.org
NCLEX – Format cont. NCLEX examination decisions are not
based on the number or percentage of items answered correctly, but rather on the difficulty of the items that a candidate can answer correctly 50% of the time. CAT administers test items with difficulty levels such that each candidate will answer about half correctly; these items provide the most information. Thus, all candidates answer about 50% correctly.
Passing candidates answer 50% of more difficult items correctly, and failing candidates answer 50% of easier items correctly.
First, the computer asks a relatively easy item, and if the candidate answers it correctly, the computer selects a somewhat harder item. As the candidate continues answering correctly, the items get harder and harder.
When the candidate starts missing questions, the items get easier until the candidate starts answering them correctly again, then the items begin to get a little harder.
Each time the candidate answers one correctly, the next is harder. Each time the candidate answers one incorrectly, the next is easier. This zigzag process continues to narrow in on the point where the candidate answers 50% correctly, e.g., one right, then one wrong.
That point represents the candidate's ability estimate.
NCLEX Format – cont.
After the candidate has answered the minimum number of items, the computer compares the candidate's estimated ability level to the passing standard and makes one of three decisions: One, if the candidate is clearly above the passing
standard, the examination ends, and the candidate passes.
Two, if the candidate is clearly below the passing standard, the examination ends, and the candidate fails.
Three, if the candidate's ability estimate is too close to the passing standard to determine with 95% certainty whether the candidate should pass or not, the computer continues to administer items.
