New BON? Now, what? How will an aspiring RN prepare? The NLE is just one of the many functions and mandates of the BON but such function determines the worthiness of an aspiring person for the privilege of professional nursing. The NLE testbank will be deleted as each BON inputs new 500 items each as their contributiin to the testbank. They will be guided by the test framework (National Nursing Core Competency Standards) but will certainly be influenced by their clinical/career specializations. As BON Marco Sto Tomas was proponent of IMCI in his presidency of the APSOM (principals of midiwifery), NP2 was heavy on IMCI; while BON Leony Freire was Chief Nurse of OR of PGH, NP3 was heavy on Perioperative Nursing. The BON follows a certain Table of Specification (TOS) in the creation of test items, they will also be trained on using HOTS questions (higher order thinking) which mostly are situational and application. The BON does not choose particular items as the computerized extraction of questions removes human process in the selection. There is a notice-able difficulty in any first board exam given by any new board, not because they will make difficult items but because they render examinees blind of their individual styles and their collective collaboration. For now, they are the only ones who may know their individual test assignment but there are clues to their specialty and background. There is also an excited tendency for anyone to do things in its best level, so the level of the test difficulty is not known, even to themselves as only the real NLE can give them that insight. Expect therefore a differently-looking NLE. Those who will now make it in the May NLE, will have to re-set their preparations for the next try. For those who will take the November NLE, The solution is simple: review with a review center who has the grasp of these honorable BON. The review center should be well grounded in the nursing circle so they have resources to have a thorough grasp of these experts. It is also worthwhile to be with a review center with credibility of covering ALL the essentials of ALL the concepts. CBRC has long prepared for this NLE, and has long known these honorable women who shall soon take hold of what could be your privilege as a professional.
