This study was designed to determine strategies to raise the NCLEX-RN pass rate and lower the attrition rate in a community college nursing program. Ex-post facto data were collected from 213 former nursing student records. Qualitative data were collected from 10 full-time faculty, 30 new graduates, and 45 directors of associate degree nursing programs in Texas. The findings linked the academic variables of two biology courses and three components of the preadmission test to completion of the nursing program. A relationship was found between one biology course, the science component of the preadmission test, the HESI Exit Examination score, and the nursing skills course to passing the NCLEX-RN. Qualitative data indicated preadmission requirements, campus counselors, remediation, faculty, test-item writing, and teaching method were instrumental in completion of the program and passing the NCLEX-RN.
本研究旨在确定提高社区学院护理专业NCLEX-RN通过率并降低流失率的策略。从213名 former nursing student records 中收集了事后数据。从10名全职教师、30名新毕业生以及德克萨斯州45名护理学副学士学位项目主任处收集了定性数据。研究结果将两门生物学课程的学术变量和入学前测试的三个组成部分与护理项目的完成情况联系起来。发现一门生物学课程、入学前测试的科学部分、HESI结业考试成绩以及护理技能课程与通过NCLEX-RN之间存在关联。定性数据表明，入学前要求、校园辅导员、补习、教师、试题编写和教学方法对项目的完成及通过NCLEX-RN至关重要。
