Ever since the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) introduced the concept of a Next Generation NCLEX (NGN), nurse educators have been wondering how they’ll need to change their educational techniques and content. When NCSBN offered up its Clinical Judgment Measurement Model (CJMM), even more questions were raised about how nursing programs should adjust.

However, the similarities between NCSBN’s CJMM and other commonly used techniques — specifically the Nursing Process and Tanner’s Clinical Judgment Model — should help reassure educators.

Sheryl Sommer, PhD, MSN, RN, CNE, Chief Nursing Officer of ATI, recently researched the three to show how they align. Published ahead of print in Nurse Educator, the article includes an illustration that details the parallels. In it, Sommer writes, “By considering the similarities of these models, educators can confidently use the nursing process or Tanner’s Clinical Judgment Model to promote development of CJ skills and prepare students for the Next Generation NCLEX."
