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.
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.
If you'd like to join us, take the next step by filling out our External Item Writer Contributor Application (Word). Retired CPNPs are invited to write items for us, too. Visit our Get Involved page to review PNCB Item Writing Manuals, read interviews with current volunteers, and more!
To assist in exam credibility, reliability, development and scoring, the PNCB contracts for test evaluation and psychometric services.
PNCB-certified nursing professionals work in a variety of roles and settings all over the United States and beyond.
