Abstract
Background: The purpose of this quantitative retrospective study was to investigate the possible predictors of success in completing the baccalaureate-nursing program at a Historical Black College and University (HBCU) and passing the NCLEX-RN licensure exam. We addressed the following research questions: Is there a significant relationship among preprogram TEAS scores, completing the BSN program and passing the NCLEX-RN licensure exam? Methods: The data for this study were collected from student records maintained by the BSN program based on archival data, which are data taken from records collected by educators or educational institution. The categories of data collected included the TEAS’ scores, graduation status on the BSN program and NCLEXRN exam status. Results: Data indicated that the group that scored 80 and Above had a significantly higher percentage of students that received their BSN (n=11, 91.7%), relative to the other 2 groups, X2(2) =7.36, p
Highlights
The ProblemThis study was based on four current trends that are affecting nursing educations, professional nursing practice and health care delivery at the national, regional and local levels
We addressed the following research questions: Is there a significant relationship among preprogram TEAS scores, completing the Bachelor of Science (BSN) program and passing the NCLEX-Registered Nurses (RN) licensure exam?
Study participants that scores 60-79 on the TEAS did not differ at a statistically significant level from the reference group in terms of likelihood of receiving or not receiving a BSN. These findings show a consistent link between TEAS performance and academic success in a baccalaureate-nursing program and passing the NCLEX-RN licensure examination on first attempt
