Download or read book An Analysis of First time NCLEX RN Exam Pass Rates of Associate Degree Nursing Students at a Northeastern Minnesota Community College written by Jennifer Ann St. Arnold and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this retrospective quantitative study was to describe and compare the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) first-time pass rates of students who participated in an optional NCLEX-RN review course with those who did not among 2012-2014 Associate Degree Nurse (ADN) graduates from a northeastern Minnesota community college. The successful completion of the ADN program at a northeastern Minnesota community college and participation in an optional NCLEX-RN exam review course were the factors used to describe and determine dependence with NCLEX-RN exam first time pass rates. A non-probability convenience sample of 220 ADN graduates was used, and the data from this sample were then analyzed using an open source software called R (R Development Core Team, 2008).The statistical technique used was the Fisher's Exact Test. The research variable was the pass rate of students taking the NCLEX-RN exam. There were no statistically significant findings related to age, ethnicity, cumulative GPA, or gender on the passing rate of the NCLEX-RN exam. The researcher concluded that further research is needed to determine whether other factors including program entrance exam criteria, foundational nursing course grades, the student's first language, or the amount of time between graduation and taking the NCLEX-RN exam affect the outcome.

Download or read book The Relationship Among Health Education Systems Inc Progression and Exit Examination Scores Day Or Evening Enrollment Final Grade Point Average and NCLEX RN Success in Associate Degree Nursing Students written by Pamela Barnwell-Sanders and published by . 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.

Book excerpt: This study focused on associate degree nursing students from one community college in southern Georgia between 2001-2004 to determine whether Educational Resources Incorporated scores (ERI), specifically the Nursing Entrance Test (NET) and the RN Assess Test, can be used to predice passage on the NCLEX-RN .

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 The Future of Nursing written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-02-08 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Future of Nursing explores how nurses' roles, responsibilities, and education should change significantly to meet the increased demand for care that will be created by health care reform and to advance improvements in America's increasingly complex health system. At more than 3 million in number, nurses make up the single largest segment of the health care work force. They also spend the greatest amount of time in delivering patient care as a profession. Nurses therefore have valuable insights and unique abilities to contribute as partners with other health care professionals in improving the quality and safety of care as envisioned in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enacted this year. Nurses should be fully engaged with other health professionals and assume leadership roles in redesigning care in the United States. To ensure its members are well-prepared, the profession should institute residency training for nurses, increase the percentage of nurses who attain a bachelor's degree to 80 percent by 2020, and double the number who pursue doctorates. Furthermore, regulatory and institutional obstacles-including limits on nurses' scope of practice-should be removed so that the health system can reap the full benefit of nurses' training, skills, and knowledge in patient care. In this book, the Institute of Medicine makes recommendations for an action-oriented blueprint for the future of nursing.

Download or read book An Examination of Clinical Experience and NCLEX RN Pass Rates written by Heather Lee Crerar and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nursing schools and faculty are studying various factors that may be useful in predicting success and failures on the National Council Licensing Examination (NCLEX-RN). This research study was designed to examine former nursing students' perceptions of their clinical experience in helping them pass the NCLEX-RN. Surveys were sent to 57 May 2005 graduates of an associate degree program in the southeastern United States. Of the 57 surveys distributed, 19 were returned, for a return rate of 33%. Data were analyzed using frequency statistics and percentages. The study results indicated that over half of the participants either agreed or somewhat disagreed that their clinical experience had a positive impact on their passing the NCLEX-RN. Further studies utilizing a larger non-convenience sample encompassing both associate degree and baccalaureate nursing programs are recommended.

Download or read book Productivity in Higher Education written by Caroline M. Hoxby and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-11-22 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do the benefits of higher education compare with its costs, and how does this comparison vary across individuals and institutions? These questions are fundamental to quantifying the productivity of the education sector. The studies in Productivity in Higher Education use rich and novel administrative data, modern econometric methods, and careful institutional analysis to explore productivity issues. The authors examine the returns to undergraduate education, differences in costs by major, the productivity of for-profit schools, the productivity of various types of faculty and of outcomes, the effects of online education on the higher education market, and the ways in which the productivity of different institutions responds to market forces. The analyses recognize five key challenges to assessing productivity in higher education: the potential for multiple student outcomes in terms of skills, earnings, invention, and employment; the fact that colleges and universities are “multiproduct” firms that conduct varied activities across many domains; the fact that students select which school to attend based in part on their aptitude; the difficulty of attributing outcomes to individual institutions when students attend more than one; and the possibility that some of the benefits of higher education may arise from the system as a whole rather than from a single institution. The findings and the approaches illustrated can facilitate decision-making processes in higher education.
