The administrative records are primarily composed of board papers; minutes, bylaws, memos, notes, correspondence, proposals, financial statements and voting records. Drafts and final versions of examinations, job descriptions, program outlines for outside organizations, individual correspondence and survey results supplement the board materials to create a significantly detailed record of the organization. The balance of the collection is examination materials. There are three main tests: the General Pediatric Nurse (GPN) Examination, the Self-Assessment Examination, and the National Qualifying Exam (NQE). Materials related to these tests include: correspondence of specific committees for question review, the organization and planning for each test, the test writer’s correspondence and assignments, the examination booklets themselves, table data, statistical data and reports from test Proctors, administrators and Program Directors Reports and finally, publications regarding the publicity and promotion of the tests.
