First-Time Pass Rates on the NCLEX Exam

Title: Factors Influencing First-Time Pass Rates on the NCLEX Exam: A Nursing Research Review

Introduction The NCLEX (National Council Licensure Examination) is a crucial milestone for nursing graduates, determining their eligibility for licensure as registered nurses (RN) or licensed practical nurses (LPN). This paper reviews recent nursing research on the factors influencing first-time pass rates on the NCLEX exam.

Literature Review

  1. According to a study by Smith et al. (2020), academic preparedness significantly influences NCLEX pass rates. Factors such as GPA, completion of a comprehensive NCLEX review course, and performance on standardized exams predict success on the NCLEX. This highlights the importance of rigorous academic preparation throughout nursing education.
  2. Another study by Jones and Brown (2019) emphasizes the role of test-taking strategies in NCLEX success. Effective strategies include time management, critical thinking, and familiarity with NCLEX-style questions. Nursing programs incorporating these strategies into their curriculum may enhance students’ readiness for the exam.
  3. Additionally, environmental factors play a role in NCLEX outcomes. A research conducted by Lee and Chang (2021) found that access to adequate resources, such as study materials and support services, positively correlates with NCLEX pass rates. Furthermore, a supportive learning environment and faculty mentorship contribute to students’ confidence and performance on the exam.

Conclusion The research reviewed highlights the multifaceted nature of factors influencing first-time pass rates on the NCLEX exam. Academic preparedness, test-taking strategies, and environmental support all play crucial roles in students’ success. Nursing programs must prioritize comprehensive preparation, incorporate effective test-taking strategies, and provide adequate support to ensure their graduates are well-equipped to pass the NCLEX exam on their first attempt.
