Hoefling selected for panel
Joey Hoefling of Odebolt was selected as a volunteer for the National Council of State Boards (NCSBN) of Nursing Licensure Examination (NCLEX®). NCSBN, headquartered in Chicago, Ill., is responsible for developing and administering the NCLEX-RN® and NCLEX-PN®. Hoefling, nurse practitioner, of Ida Grove Family Health Center and Denison Family Health Center, was approved by the Iowa Board of Nursing and selected by NCBSN to participate on the NCLEX item development panel of subject matter experts that was held in Chicago, Ill., on Oct. 13. Hoefling was one of seven nurses from across the nation to be selected for the assignment. He was nominated on the basis of clinical specialty and nursing expertise. All nurses in the United States and its four U.S. territories must take the NCLEX®. The licensing exam identiies those candidates who demonstrate minimal competence to practice nursing at the entry level. Passing the NCLEX® exam is one of the requirements necessary for attaining a nursing license.
