The survey will be studied in collaboration with nurse scientists from Duke University School of Nursing.</p> <p>&ldquo;AI is increasingly shaping the information nurses see and use to make decisions about patient care," said Michael P. Cary, Jr., PhD, RN, FAAN, associate professor at Duke University School of Nursing. "The critical question is not simply whether nurses are using AI, but whether they are prepared to recognize when and how AI is influencing care and whether they know what to do when those outputs don't align with their professional judgment or the needs of the patient.&rdquo;</p> <p>The researchers are seeking a better understanding of how AI is influencing nursing practice and patient care. A random sampling of nurses from across the U.S. will be asked to review their experiences with AI so that researchers can determine what gaps in understanding exist and what recourse nurses have when AI suggests one direction of care when a nurse believes another is better based on clinical judgment, experience, and ethical considerations.</p> <p>Brendan Martin, PhD, ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµdirector of research, said, &ldquo;As the organization whose members&rsquo; paramount mission is dedicated to public protection, we are concerned with the effects that AI may have on ethical and safe nursing practice. As AI becomes more prevalent and increasingly more integrated into clinical settings, it is important to determine its impact on the potential for patient harm.&rdquo;</p> <p>Nurses receiving the survey via email are encouraged to offer their perspectives on AI regardless of whether they are currently using it. Their insights will help shape how AI is implemented effectively and ethically in nursing practice and healthcare.</p> <p>The findings will inform nursing practice and regulatory considerations, workforce readiness for AI-enabled care, and continuing education to support safe and responsible AI use.</p> <p><strong>About NCSBN</strong><br />Empowering and supporting nursing regulators across the world in their mandate to protect the public, ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµis an independent, not-for-profit organization.

Effective Feb. 1, 2027, the NCLEX registration fee will be $350 in the United States and Australia. In Canada, the fee will be $570 (CAD).</p> <p>This is the first adjustment to the NCLEX registration fee since 2000. The change reflects 25 years of inflation and rising costs associated with exams, data protection and cybersecurity. As nursing practice, technology and security requirements have evolved over time, the NCLEX has continued to evolve as well. Maintaining a secure, reliable licensure examination is an essential part of helping regulators protect the public and ensuring candidates are prepared for safe entry-level practice.</p> <p>Those who complete their registration before Feb. 1, 2027, will be charged the current fee. Those who register on or after Feb. 1, 2027, will be charged the adjusted fee. The exam date does not affect the fee. This applies to all NCLEX registrations, including retakes.</p> <p>No other NCLEX fees are changing. International scheduling fees and change fees will remain the same, and the REx-PN examination fee is not affected.</p> <p>For additional information, including NCLEX registration and fee information, visit <a href="https://nclex.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nclex.com</a>.</p> NCLEX Fee Changes Feb. 1 The ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµ Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) is a not-for-profit organization whose purpose is to provide an organization through which boards of nursing act and counsel together on matters of common interest and concern affecting the public health, safety and welfare, including the development of licensing examinations in nursing.
