Summary
Evidence-based nursing education equips students with critical thinking and clinical reasoning skills essential for success on the NCLEX-RN exam. Applying these evidence-based strategies aids nursing students in passing the licensing test.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Clinical Reasoning
- Evidence-Based Practice
Background:
- Effective nursing education must foster reflective thinking and clinical inquiry.
- Developing clinical reasoning and decision-making skills is crucial for nursing students.
- A successful strategy is needed for nursing students to pass the NCLEX-RN.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify research-based strategies for enhancing nursing student success.
- To explore the link between evidence-based nursing processes and NCLEX-RN performance.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of nursing research on student success strategies.
- Analysis of evidence-based nursing principles and their application to clinical practice questions.
Main Results:
- Evidence-based nursing education promotes the development of critical thinking.
- Applying evidence-based nursing skills enhances clinical reasoning abilities.
- These skills are directly applicable to improving NCLEX-RN pass rates.
Conclusions:
- Nursing students must adopt a reflective, inquiry-based approach to learning.
- Evidence-based nursing practices are a powerful tool for NCLEX-RN preparation.
- Integrating these strategies facilitates both clinical competence and licensure success.

01:30Current Trends in Nursing II
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...
01:29Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions
Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:
01:15Nursing Implementation
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

01:25Fundamentals of Nursing Process II
There are several characteristics related to delivering nursing care. One vital characteristic of the nursing process is that it can be used to protect nurses and justify the provided care. Productive use of the nursing process requires the knowledge and skills of nurses to assess and solve issues. Nurses should develop and strengthen their critical thinking skills and evidence-based nursing interventions to improve their skills in formulating nursing care plans. A well-defined approach to...
01:22Nursing Diagnosis
Following assessment, a nursing diagnosis is the next step in the nursing process. It begins after the nurse has collected and recorded the patient data. The purpose of diagnosing is to identify how the client responds to actual or potential health processes, identify factors that bestow or that cause health problems, the etiologies, and identify resources or strengths the individual, group, or community can draw on to prevent or resolve problems.
