Abstract
This study examined the variables of gender, age, previous degree, first-generation college, type of nursing program, grade point average (GPA), amount of postgraduation recommended preparation completed, average score on recommended preparation examinations, the score on a postgraduation readiness examination, and the NCLEX-RN® outcome. An exploratory field study approach was used to explore relationships among variables. The study was retrospective and longitudinal with quantitative data collected and analyzed and explored further by interviews. A postgraduation readiness examination was found to accurately predict the NCLEX-RN outcome. Correlations were found between the readiness examination score and gender, first-generation college, GPA, amount of recommended preparation completed, and average score on recommended preparation tests. Anxiety was the common theme for the outliers. This study provided rich data about postgraduation readiness to take the NCLEX-RN examination and lays the groundwork for further research on postgraduation variables associated with NCLEX-RN success.
