PNCB Exam Ethics Violation Tip Reporting Form

Each of us has a personal commitment to support and uphold exam ethics because employers, patients, and families count on the integrity of nursing care and the credentials that validate specialized practice knowledge. 

PNCB’s Code of Ethics states you cannot act dishonestly or unfairly to personally gain advantage or provide advantage to another during the examination or recertification process. 

If you observe any type of exam-related or recertification misconduct at any time, it is your responsibility to report it either here anonymously or by contacting PNCB by email at exam@pncb.org or by phone at 1-888-641-2767 then press 4. Misconduct is not limited to the time of an exam appointment. Misconduct can occur before and after testing too. 

Examples include but are not limited to:
  • Attempt to share content in actual exam questions or copyrighted practice test questions
  • Attempt to purchase exam questions
