Coaching to NCLEX-RN Success: A Postgraduation Intervention to Improve First-Time Pass Rates
The Journal of Nursing Education
|August 28, 2018
Summary
A postgraduation coaching intervention improved first-time National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) pass rates. This program successfully boosted pass rates from 64.86% to over 94% within two years.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Professional Licensure Examinations
Background:
- First-time National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) pass rates are key metrics for prelicensure nursing program effectiveness.
- A baccalaureate nursing program experienced a significant decline in NCLEX-RN pass rates over four years, dropping from 85.71% to 64.86%.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and implement a postgraduation coaching intervention aimed at enhancing NCLEX-RN preparedness among nursing graduates.
- To provide individualized support and structured preparation for the NCLEX-RN examination after program completion.
Main Methods:
- The intervention utilized cognitive behavioral techniques, content reviews, and test-taking strategies.
- A Tutor and Retention Coordinator led the coaching intervention, focusing on closing preparedness gaps for the NCLEX-RN.
Main Results:
- The coaching intervention was implemented over two years.
- First-time NCLEX-RN pass rates increased substantially, reaching 87.66% in 2016 and 94.29% in 2017.
Conclusions:
- Effective NCLEX-RN preparation necessitates a comprehensive strategy extending beyond program completion.
- Continuous preparation, starting early in the nursing program and continuing post-graduation, is crucial for success on the NCLEX-RN.

02:17Ecological Succession
21.5K
Ecological succession is influenced by the processes of facilitation, inhibition, and toleration. Facilitation occurs when early successional species create more favorable ecological conditions for subsequent species, such as enhanced nutrient, water, or light availability. In contrast, inhibition happens when early successional species create unfavorable ecological conditions for potential successive species, such as limiting resource availability. In some cases, later successional species...

01:12First Pass Effect
9.5K
Presystemic elimination, or the first-pass effect, is the metabolism of drugs that reduces their effective concentration at the site of action. Apart from the first-pass effect, the systemic bioavailability of the drug is also reduced by other factors, including incomplete absorption or chemical degradation of drugs.
Depending on the route of administration, drugs can be metabolized in the liver, intestine, lungs, and vasculature. Orally administered drugs are first absorbed through the...

02:39The Integrated Rate Law: The Dependence of Concentration on Time
42.5K
While the differential rate law relates the rate and concentrations of reactants, a second form of rate law called the integrated rate law relates concentrations of reactants and time. Integrated rate laws can be used to determine the amount of reactant or product present after a period of time or to estimate the time required for a reaction to proceed to a certain extent. For example, an integrated rate law helps determine the length of time a radioactive material must be stored for its...

Nursing interventions are chosen as part of the planning process to achieve patient outcomes. Once nursing diagnoses are determined, the goals and outcomes are specified, then the nursing interventions are selected and individualized according to the patient's situation.
A nursing intervention is a treatment or action based on scientific concepts and knowledge from the nursing, behavioral, and physical sciences. Identifying and prioritizing nursing interventions based on the desired outcome...

3.3K
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:

6.7K
Integral membrane proteins are tightly associated with the cell membrane and play a crucial role in cell communication, signaling, adhesion, and transport of the molecules. Some integral membrane proteins are present only in the membrane monolayer. For example, the enzyme fatty acid amide hydrolase is present in the cytoplasmic side of the membrane monolayer. In contrast, another type of integral membrane protein, also known as a transmembrane protein, spans across the membrane. Transmembrane...
