What are the major differences in the items from RN to PN?
The difference in the practice (as noted in the practice analysis) can be found in the Client Needs categories of the NCLEX-RN and NCLEX-PN test plans. As noted in the test plan, RNs perform assessments on clients initiating care plans and PNs collect data and contribute to the plan of care. The NCLEX-RN and NCLEX-PN test plans can be found at www.ncsbn.org/1287.htm.
