Factors Influencing the Success of the National Nursing Competency Examination taken by the Nursing Diploma Students in Yogyakarta
Summary
Yogyakarta is a province with the highest percentage of achievements over the past five years. The increasing elderly population and decreasing number of births, which influences health policies and health care systems around the world, will affect the human resource demand of nursing. To deal with this condition, some nursing institutions should adapt their strategies to manage their institutions. Nurses who graduate within a similar nursing education system who want to work overseas will take a nursing competency examination and gain professional certification or recertification in order to update their professional competencies to meet the standards of the origin country This certification can be achieved through bridging programs and certain nursing courses. It ends in the nursing licensure examination (Covell, Primeau, Kilpatrick, and St.Pierre, 2017)
