|July 1, 2020
Summary
Nurse educators can improve nursing education and NCLEX pass rates by empowering students with a new teaching model. This approach fosters student control, boosting first-time pass rates from 82% to 93%.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Healthcare Workforce Development
Background:
- Addressing the critical nursing shortage requires innovative educational strategies.
- RN programs must prepare diverse learners for licensure and evolving healthcare systems.
- Nurse educators face challenges in student success and transition to practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce a novel teaching model designed to empower nurse educators and students.
- To enhance student success on the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX).
- To facilitate the transition of new nurse graduates into dynamic healthcare environments.
Main Methods:
- Implementation of a teaching model focused on increasing student locus of control.
- Utilizing diverse teaching strategies to support learner success.
- Analyzing NCLEX pass rates as a key performance indicator.
Main Results:
- A significant increase in NCLEX first-time pass rates, rising from 82% to 93%.
- Demonstrated empowerment of students through enhanced locus of control.
- Positive impact of the teaching model on graduate preparedness.
Conclusions:
- The proposed teaching model effectively empowers nurse educators and students.
- Empowering students with locus of control is directly linked to improved NCLEX outcomes.
- The model offers a viable strategy for enhancing nursing education and addressing workforce needs.

Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

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.

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...
