This book was released on 2014 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between preadmission assessment composite and reading scores and first-time National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) success was evaluated in this study. Following an extensive literature review, the researcher hypothesized that students who score at or above the national average on the Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS) composite score and/or reading score are more likely to be successful on the first attempt of the NCLEX-RN examination. Utilizing archived student records from a rural community college in western North Carolina, a convenience sample of 59 graduates from May 2012 and 2013 was used. Findings of this study revealed there is significant positive correlation between TEAS preadmission assessment composite and reading scores and first-time NCLEX-RN success. Based on the results of this study, nursing programs can evaluate their admission criteria as well as remediation policies in an attempt to increase retention and first-time NCLEX-RN success.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Graduates of associate degree (AD) nursing programs form the largest segment of first-time National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) test takers, yet also experience the highest rate of NCLEX-RN failures. NCLEX-RN failure delays entry into the profession, adding an emotional and financial toll to the unsuccessful AD candidate. Studies concerning factors contributing to first-time success on the NCLEX-RN may include AD graduates, but primarily focus on baccalaureate degree nursing program graduates. Commercially available progression specialty examinations and exit examinations attempt to identify students at risk for failure on the NCLEX-RN. In an effort to increase first-time pass rates, many schools of nursing have implemented such examinations to better prepare nursing students for the NCLEX-RN examination. The present study sought to determine whether progression testing, using standardized computerized tests throughout the program, contributed to the success of AD nursing students taking the NCLEX-RN licensure examination for the first time. The study employed a retrospective, descriptive correlational design at a single two-year associate degree nursing program at a private college in the northeast. A convenience sample of the records of 410 nursing students, who graduated from the nursing program in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013, were identified. The most reliable predictor of NCLEX-RN success was end-of-program grade point average. The study found no significant correlation with the initiation and use of computerized standardized testing and NCLEX-RN outcomes. Lastly, there was no difference in NCLEX-RN outcomes based on student enrollment in the day or evening AD nursing program.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nursing shortage continues to escalate with the deficit of registered nurses expected to approach one million. The purpose of this quantitative correlational study is to examine if and to what extent a relationship exists between student input predictor variables, student throughput predictor variables, and the successful outcome of passing NCLEX-RN on a first attempt in a Mastery Learning Teaching Approach (MLTA) pedagogy. The study examined 302 accelerated BSN students graduating between 2014-2018. Mastery learning and general systems theory provided the theoretical foundation for the study. Research question 1 examined the input predictor variables, age, gender, last 60 credit GPA and science prerequisite GPA. A simple difference of two means and a Chi-Squared Test for Independence found not enough evidence existed to predict first time NCLEX-RN passage. Question 2 focused on throughput predictor variables, Health Assessment, Adult Health I, Adult Health II, and Fundamentals. Difference of two means showed no relationship with first time NCLEX-RN passage. Research question 3 addressed whether any specific variable(s) impacted first attempt NCLEX-RN passage. A logistic regression model concluded that age (p=0.0245) and Adult Health I (p=0.0740), produced the best predictors of passing NCLEX-RN on a first attempt. Although weak, the results from this study suggest that these variables, when taught through a MLTA, may predict student success on NCLEX-RN. Future research should investigate additional predictors of NCLEX-RN passage in an accelerated BSN program using a MLTA pedagogy.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was conducted to determine if success on the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) was correlated with a specific combination of academic variables. A retrospective, nonexperimental correlation design was utilized, which included both descriptive and inferential statistical procedures to determine positive correlation. Data was collected from the academic records of baccalaureate nursing students (N=225) who attended and completed the traditional and accelerated programs between 2005 and 2009. Independent academic variables included both prerequisite and nursing courses, as well as prerequisite, nursing and cumulative GPAs and ATI RN predictor test score. Eighteen of the 30 independent variables were found to correlate with NCLEX-RN success. Among those 18 correlating variables seven were noted to have a stronger correlation. Understanding the aspects of a nursing program that demonstrates correlation provides the nursing students, educators, and the profession as a whole opportunity to increase the possibility of success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teachers spend much time involved in assessment activities; however formal education in assessment theory is often lacking. Educators, including nurse educators, have taught themselves the skills needed for developing measurement instruments. The purpose of this quantitative descriptive study was to evaluate utilization of blueprinting by schools of nursing when writing exam questions, as predictors of success on NCLEX-RN exams. A survey was distributed to faculty of 59 Ohio registered nursing programs, to assess the use of blueprinting. Statistical analysis of NCLEX-RN success rates compared to test blue printing practices was conducted. Patricia Benner's novice to expert framework was utilized in the evaluation of the educators using of the NCLEX-RN Test Plan RTM. Benner's model helped identify those educators' levels of expertise, based on a self-rating scale. Data analysis was completed using logistic regression statistical analysis. The utilization of test blueprinting among schools surveyed had no significant affect on NCLEX-RN test scores.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AbstractAN EXAMINATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ASSOCIATE DEGREE PROGRAM PREADMISSION GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA), AMERICAN COLLEGE TEST (ACT) SCORES AND DEGREE COMPLETION AND SUCCESS ON THE NATIONAL COUNCIL LICENSURE EXAMINATION-REGISTERED NURSES (NCLEX-RN).Associate Degree Nursing programs in Alabama have more applicants than available spots, making them highly competitive programs to gain entry. The community colleges that offer these programs are facing many challenges including performance-based funding, open-enrollment policies, and high attrition rates. Given these conditions, program directors institute an application grading process in an effort to select applicants whom the programs believe is most likely to graduate and to be successful on the NCLEX-RN licensure exam. This study examines the relationship of the American College Testing (ACT),) and students pre-admissions GPAs in an attempt to interpret which academic factor makes a better predictor of student success. The study revealed that GPA was the only statistically significant indicator for student success in both program completion and NCLEX-RN pass on the first attempt.Keywords: Student Success, Alabama Community College Nursing, ACT Scores, GPA.
Download or read book Using the ATI Test as a Predictor of NCLEX RN Success written by Sara Miles and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) is a standardized exam that all pre-licensure graduates of nursing programs in the United States must pass to obtain professional registered nurse licensure. Predicting NCLEX-RN success is an ongoing concern of students, educators, and schools of nursing. Computerized exams such as the Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI) exams are commonly used in many nursing programs as a tool to help predict success. At a private Midwestern university, a retrospective study was conducted to determine if a relationship existed between performance on the ATI exams and NCLEX-RN success. Two graduating classes (n = 37) of pre-licensure students were studied to determine the accuracy of predicting NCLEX-RN success using the ATI exams. Data were collected on student performance on ten ATI exam scores: Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS) test, Critical Thinking Composite, Fundamentals, Pharmacology, Pediatrics, Maternal Newborn, Mental Health, Medical Surgical, Community, and the Registered Nurse (RN) Predictor Exam. A questionnaire was sent to faculty administering the ATI to examine the emphasis placed on the exams. While the ATI exam scores strongly correlate with NCLEX-RN success, the results do not appear to be predictive of NCLEX-RN success within the sample size of this study.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In higher education nursing programs, there are continued questions regarding admission assessment requirements and their ability to predict success for nursing students. This concept is especially true for accelerated second-degree baccalaureate nursing programs. More research is needed on these newer programs. One of the more common admission criteria for these programs is the Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS). Researchers need to examine the predictability of the TEAS composite and categorical scores to determine if a significant correlation exists between how one scores on the TEAS and level of success in nursing school. In this research proposal, success is defined as completion of the nursing curriculum and also as passage of the National Council Licensure Exam for registered nurses (NCLEX-RN) on the first attempt.
