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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine if Assessment Technologies Institute's (ATI) comprehensive predictor accurately predicts student results on the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) for graduates of an Associate Degree nurse program at a community college in the Northwestern part of North Carolina. The study was also used to determine the feasibility of the School of Nursing (SON) continuing to purchase the ATI standardized testing products for student use. This study evaluated the comprehensive predictor scores and first time pass/fail rates for graduates (N=285) from 2007 to 2011. All data was analyzed using IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20 software, as well as a predictive accuracy spreadsheet provided by ATI to determine the overall predictive reliability. The mean on the predictor is significantly different for those who passed versus those who failed, which indicated that ATI's comprehensive predictor is predictive of success or failure on the NCLEX-RN for graduates of the Associate Degree Nurse program at the college (p = 0.000
Download or read book Identifying Predictors of Success for the Computerized NCLEX RN in Associate Degree Nursing Graduates written by Tina Marie Kline and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Failure of the NCLEX-RN is a significant problem with a farther reaching impact than just the individual student and program of nursing. Every student who is unsuccessful on the exam is one less registered nurse to provide patient care; therefore, increasing NCLEX-RN pass rates is essential to addressing the ongoing nursing shortage. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship among nursing curriculum grade point average, performance in the biological science courses, performance in the theory portion of fundamentals and medical-surgical nursing courses, performance on the Assessment Technologies Institute RN comprehensive predictor examination, and role transition setting and success on the NCLEX-RN examination. Approval was obtained from the governing institution and community college's internal review board, to conduct a record review of the graduating nursing classes. Logistical regression was then performed to identify significant predictors of NCLEX success, including ACT and COMPASS reading scores, biological science GPA, performance in medical-surgical nursing courses, and ATI comprehensive predictor performance. Statistical analysis indicated that ACT/COMPASS reading scores, nursing curriculum and biological science GPA, and ATI comprehensive predictor performance were significant predictors of NCLEX-RN performance.

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 2012 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nursing shortage is a national issue that has ignited an increasing demand to address the importance of preparing students to be successful on the initial National Council of Licensure Examination for Registered Nursing (NCLEX-RN). Nursing programs are charged by the Board of Nursing to prepare graduates to be successful on the initial NCLEX-RN writing. Nursing programs have implemented admission criteria and advancement policies, in conjunction with computerized testing, to ensure that this is a plausible mandate. The purpose of this proposed dissertation research is to identify predictors that will determine measures of success on the initial writing of the NCLEX-RN for graduates of Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) programs in central Alabama.

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.
