Abstract
This study explored the use of an intervention to increase test success of corpsmen in pursuit of the LVN license. Corpsmen who pursue California Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) licensure and sit for the National Council Licensure by Examination- Practical Nurse (NCLEX-PN) historically pass with a 50% rate. It is not understood how the combination of formalized test preparation and faculty facilitation of course impact test success. Using a quantitative design, we explored the effectiveness of the course and relationship between individual intervention outcomes for 12 military corpsmen. Student mean scores on the pretest were 58.0%, while comprehensive exam scores were 84.2%. This gain represents a 45% increase and comprehensive exam scores that could have likely satisfied 2021 NCLEX-PN passing scores. The findings suggest that a model with a nurse-led facilitation of NCLEX-PN test plan content shows promise in helping corpsmen close the theory to practice gap in passing the NCLEX-PN.
