Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Healthcare Professional Development

Background:

  • Many registered nursing graduates struggle to pass the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) even after program completion.
  • Traditional NCLEX-RN preparatory courses may not fully address all factors contributing to licensure success.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of incorporating contemplative practices into an NCLEX-RN preparatory course.
  • To assess changes in nursing students' self-efficacy related to NCLEX-RN preparation.

Main Methods:

  • Contemplative practices, including meditation and guided imagery, were integrated into a standard NCLEX-RN preparatory course.
  • Self-efficacy scores were measured at the beginning and end of the course to determine changes.

Main Results:

  • A statistically significant increase in self-efficacy scores was observed from the beginning to the end of the course.
  • Students reported positive experiences with the contemplative activities, finding them beneficial.

Conclusions:

  • The integration of contemplative practices can enhance self-efficacy in nursing graduates preparing for the NCLEX-RN.
  • Students expressed willingness to utilize these techniques in the future, suggesting their value in nursing education.
