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.

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

If you want to truly succeed in nursing practice today and be thinking-oriented rather than task-oriented, then look no further than this one-of-a-kind textbook. Simple approach and motivational writing style include vivid examples, memorable anecdotes, and real case scenarios to make content come alive. Practical strategies to promote critical thinking, clinical reasoning, and clinical judgment are incorporated along with supporting evidence as to why the strategies work. Focus on application (or "how to") and inclusion of supporting rationales (theory) make difficult concepts easy to learn. Critical thinking indicators feature evidence-based descriptions from the author of behaviors that promote critical thinking in nursing practice. Highlighted features and sections — such as Chapter at a Glance, Pre-Chapter Self-Tests, Guiding Principles, Critical Moments, Other Perspectives, Think-Pair-Share, Help Me Out cartoons, real-life clinical scenarios, key points, critical thinking exercises, and more — promote independent learning. UNIQUE! Brain-based learning principles utilize strategies that challenge the mind and are incorporated throughout the text. Timely coverage includes topical issues, such as: problem-focused versus outcome-focused thinking, prioritizing, developing a culture of safety, healthy work environments, expanding roles related to diagnosis and management, applying delegation principles, evidence-based practice, improving grades and passing tests the first time, NCLEX preparation, ensuring documentation reflects critical thinking, communication and interpersonal skills, strategies for common workplace challenges, and more. Inclusion of ethics- and standards-based professional practice reflects today’s professional climate which demands increasing accountability. Incorporation of cultural, spiritual, and lifespan content along with the nurse’s role in hospitals, communities, and long-term care settings presents a broad approach to critical thinking. Discussion of Tanner and Benner’s most recent work on what the research says about critical thinking and clinical judgment in nursing keeps readers up to date on the evidence-based side of practice. Coverage of IOM, QSEN, and other patient safety standards also keeps readers up to date on safe and effective nursing care.

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 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.
