1 Making Links Between Invitation to the Life Span, 3e and the NCLEX-RN Test T he following table provides an at-a-glance correlation between this textbook and the 2013 NCLEX RN Test Plan published by the National Council of the State Boards of Nursing. This correlation may help you plan your study for the NCLEX exam by focusing on the sections of your textbook that tie most closely to the exam. In addition to this correlation chart, the instructor s test bank for Invitation to the Life Span is also correlated to the four standards in the NCLEX text plan. The NCLEX Test Plan is divided into the four Client Needs categories that appear below. Some of the key concepts and topics from this textbook are correlated to each of these four major categories.
