Abstract:
Nurse educators are charged with designing and delivering preparation initiatives that will enable graduates to be successful on the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN®). Research focusing on nursing students from the time of graduation until they take the NCLEX-RN is limited. To assist with increasing NCLEX-RN pass rates, an innovative approach to mentoring BSN graduates while preparing for the NCLEX-RN was developed. The postgraduate mentorship program was implemented through communication, support, mentoring, and tutoring of BSN students after graduation. Results indicate that the mentorship program was successful at increasing pass rates and was beneficial for students.
