Area of Science:

Nursing Education
Academic Assessment

Background:

NCLEX-RN success is crucial for entry into professional nursing practice.
Identifying reliable academic predictors is essential for student support and program evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

To examine the relationship between 10 academic predictors and first-time NCLEX-RN success.
To identify key indicators for predicting NCLEX-RN outcomes in a diverse nursing student population.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of 92 Bachelor of Science in Nursing students.
Discriminant analysis of predictors including GPA, standardized test scores (Kaplan, HESI, ATI), and Test of Essential Academic Skills.

Main Results:

Science GPA >3.50 and ATI B score ≥60 were the strongest predictors of NCLEX-RN success.
Kaplan scores ≥50 and HESI scores ≥950 indicated good NCLEX-RN outcomes.
The Test of Essential Academic Skills did not significantly predict NCLEX-RN success.

Conclusions:

Specific academic metrics, particularly science GPA and standardized test performance, are valuable in predicting NCLEX-RN success.
These findings can inform targeted interventions for nursing students at risk of failing the NCLEX-RN.
The study highlights the importance of diverse student support in nursing education.
