The Next Generation NCLEX launched in April 2023 is the most significant update to nursing licensure in decades. It tests clinical judgment using the NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement Model (CJMM) — a 6-layer cognitive framework. NurseQuizPrep specialists are trained specifically in NGN methodology and all new question types.
The 6 Clinical Judgment Layers
NCSBN's CJMM has 6 cognitive skills: Recognize Cues, Analyze Cues, Prioritize Hypotheses, Generate Solutions, Take Action, Evaluate Outcomes. Every NGN question maps to one or more of these layers.
- Recognize Cues: identify relevant assessment data
- Prioritize Hypotheses: rank nursing problems by urgency
- Evaluate Outcomes: assess whether interventions worked
NGN New Question Item Types
Extended Multiple Response (select multiple), Enhanced Hot Spot (highlight text), Drop-Down Cloze (fill-in tables), Matrix/Grid (match items), Trend (analyze data over time), and Bow-Tie (clinical judgment synthesis).
- Matrix/Grid: most commonly misunderstood — we provide targeted drills
- Bow-Tie: complex judgment synthesis — our specialists teach a step-by-step framework
- Unfolding case studies: 6-question patient scenarios
