Students' Mid-Program Content Area Performance as a Predictor of End-of-Program NCLEX Readiness
Creator: Jennifer A. Brussow, PhD, Michelle Dunham, PhD
Duration: 3:22
Many programs have implemented end-of-program predictive testing to identify students at risk of NCLEX-RN failure. Unfortunately, for many students, end-of-program testing comes too late. The authors studied the relationships between 9 content area assessments and an end-of-program assessment shown to be predictive of NCLEX-RN success. Results indicate that scores on assessments for content areas such as medical surgical nursing and care of children are predictive of end-of-program test scores, suggesting that instructors should provide remediation at the first sign of lagging performance.
