Tutoring for Success: Empowering Graduate Nurses After Failure on the NCLEX-RN
Background:
Failure on the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) is a devastating experience. Most research related to NCLEX-RN is focused on predicting and preventing failure. Despite these efforts, more than 20,000 nursing school graduates experience failure on the NCLEX-RN each year, and there is a paucity of literature regarding remediation after failure.
Method:
The aim of this article is to describe an individualized tutoring approach centered on establishing a trusting relationship and incorporating two core strategies for remediation: the nugget method, and a six-step strategy for question analysis.
Results:
This individualized tutoring method has been used by three nursing faculty with a 95% success rate on an NCLEX retake attempt.
Conclusion:
Further research is needed to identify the elements of this tutoring method that influence success. [J Nurs Educ. 2017;56(12):758-761.].
