  1. Examination of Variables Related to NCLEX-RN Janis A. Franich, RN, BSN, CIC

  2. Project • May 2008 ADN graduates • Identify predictors of students at risk for failure of NCLEX-RN • Develop an instrument to identify these students

  3. Project Background • Scholarly project for MSN at Ferris State

  4. Literature Search • Previous studies • Variables examined • Risk Appraisal Instrument

  5. Student Variables Examined • Twenty-six variables • Demographics • Academic Performance • Standardized Test Results

  6. Demographics • Age • Gender • Race Standardized Tests • NET • HESI

  7. Academic Performance • Overall GPA • Nursing GPA • Number of C’s or lower in nursing courses • Number of times readmitted • Grades in all nursing program courses • Grades in Biology 151 & 152

  8. Statistical Analysis • SPSS • Statistician from U of M

  9. Results • 51 graduates tested – 6 failed • 46 females – 5 males • 44 White – 6 Black – 1 Hispanic • 15 Transition • Average Age – 33: Range 20 – 51 • Ave. nursing GPA - 3.23: Range 1.81-4.0 • Ave. first HESI score – 828: Range 649-1064

  10. Weak Correlation to NCLEX-RN

  11. HESI • Valid & reliable • Analyzed correlations

  12. Moderate Correlation to HESI

  13. Moderate Correlation to HESI

  14. Moderate Correlation to HESI

  15. Weak Correlation to HESI

  16. Weak Correlation to HESI

  17. Race Variable • Small sample size • Interesting trends

  18. Race Variable

  19. Race Variable

  20. Race Variable

  21. 200 Level Classes • Larger sample size • Evaluation of differences

  22. 2nd Year Classes

  23. 2nd Year Classes

  24. 2nd Year Classes

  25. Variables with no or one relationship • Gender – no correlations • NET reading – correlated to BIOL-151 • Transition/Advance standing – no correlations • Last HESI – correlated to NURS-205

  26. Limitations • Sample size • Race & Gender • First year classes • NET test results • Students who failed

  27. Recommendations • Data reveals trends • Data insufficient to provide evidence • Risk Appraisal Instrument • Continue to collect & analyze data • Additional data may reveal more trends • Additional data may provide evidence upon which to base directions for change
