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
• NET• HESI
Standardized Tests
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
Weak Correlation to NCLEX-RN

HESI
• Valid & reliable• Analyzed correlations
Moderate Correlation to HESI
Moderate Correlation to HESI
Moderate Correlation to HESI

Race Variable
• Small sample size• Interesting trends
Race Variable

200 Level Classes
• Larger sample size• Evaluation of differences
2nd Year Classes
2nd Year Classes
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
