Abstract
Background: The National Council Licensure Exam (NCLEX-RN) pass rate is often used as a measurement to determine a successful undergraduate nursing program. Students that are not successful in the first attempt of taking this exam are statistically unlikely to pass on the second attempt.Purpose: To determine if the implementation of a prescribed remediation protocol would improve undergraduate baccalaureate predictor scores for passing the NCLEX-RN exam on the first attempt for high-risk students.Methods: A retrospective cohort study design was used to compare scores of nursing students after a prescribed remediation protocol was instituted.Results: A one-way ANOVA test was conducted to compare the effect of a remediation policy on nursing students enrolled in an undergraduate nursing program. Remediation had a significant effect at the p < 0.05 level for six cohorts consisting of F (5,232) = 9.90 and a p value of 0.0000000133. Post hoc comparisons using the Tukey HSD test indicated that the comprehensive predictor exam mean score for those that received remediation was significantly different than those that did not receive remediation in like cohorts.Conclusion: A prescribed remediation protocol assisted students in achieving the necessary scores on the Comprehensive Predictor exam to increase their likelihood of success on NCLEX.
