Abstract
The aim of the study was to determine whether state NCLEX-RN pass rate standards for nursing education programs are valid and reliable. Nursing education programs must meet minimum NCLEX-RN pass rate standards imposed on them by state regulatory bodies. The standards suggest validity and reliability issues. To compute descriptive statistics and reliability coefficients to evaluate state pass rate standards, the study used a database of statutes and regulations that establish pass rate standards and a database of NCLEX-RN pass rates for 2,157 nursing programs in 45 states for 2010 to 2016. There is substantial variation in state pass rate standards. Nursing education program pass rates are not stable over time, suggesting there may be problems with reliability and validity. State nursing boards should consider revising pass rate standards to make them more consistent and improve the reliability of pass rate violation determinations.
