Linda Finch, assistant professor of nursing at the University of Memphis, was one of 12 nurses from across the nation selected as an item writer for the National Council of State Boards of Nursing Licensure Examination (NCLEX).

The council is responsible for developing and administering licensing exams for registered nurses and practical nurses. Finch was selected to participate in the NCLEX item development panel session held in Chicago in October.

All nurses in the United States and its territories must take the NCLEX exam, which demonstrates competence to practice nursing at the entry level. Passing the NCLEX is one of the requirements for attaining a nursing license.
