Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Professional Licensure
Background:
- Success on the National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses (NCLEX-PN) is essential for practical nursing program outcomes and professional practice.
- Nurse educators and administrators seek to identify predictors of NCLEX-PN success.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine the predictive value of demographic, pre-admission, and programmatic variables for NCLEX-PN success.
Main Methods:
- A study was conducted within a statewide 2-year college system.
- Demographic, pre-admission, and programmatic data were analyzed.
Main Results:
- Key factors predicting NCLEX-PN success were identified (specific factors not detailed in the abstract).
Conclusions:
- Understanding these predictive factors can inform nursing program development and student support strategies.
- Identifying at-risk students early can improve overall NCLEX-PN pass rates.
