Committees
The Board of Directors of the PNCB
appoints pediatric nurse practitioners, pediatricians, pharmacologists,
and pediatric nursing experts to serve on the various committees of the
PNCB.
The committees of the PNCB include:
- CPN® Exam Committee
- Pediatric Nursing Self-Assessment Exercise (SAE)
Committee
- CPNP® Primary Care Exam Committee
- CPNP® Primary Care Self-Assessment Exercise Committee
- CPNP® Pediatric Pharmacology Self-Assessment Exercise
Committee
- CPNP® Acute Care Exam Committee
- CPNP® Acute Care Self-Assessment Exercise Committee
- PNP Program Review Committee
External Item Writers:
In addition to committee members, the PNCB selects
certified pediatric nurse practitioners and certified pediatric nurses as
external item writers for all committees. Item writer mentoring, workshops
and materials are offered by the PNCB to CPNPs® and CPNs® interested in serving
as external item writers.
Item writers receive 5 contact hours for
use in the PNCB Recertification Program and recognition by name as an author
in the self-assessment exercise. Also, when openings arise on our test committees,
external item writers who have fulfilled their commitments are the first
to be invited to join.
For more information, see our CPN® Item Writer Manual,
our Primary Care CPNP® Item Writer Manual, or our
Acute Care CPNP® Item Writer Manual.
If you have an interest in becoming an external item writer for the PNCB, we'd love to hear from you! Simply fill out our
Willingness to Serve Form and email it to us.
To assist in exam credibility, reliability,
development and scoring, the PNCB contracts for test evaluation and
psychometric services.
