The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between a number of demographic and academic variables of baccalaureate nursing graduates (n = 197) and their performance on the National Council Licensure Examination-Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). Variables examined in this study include gender, race, transfer status, Chemistry 108 grade, and student learning style and participation in supplemental instruction sessions. Variables found to be predictors of performance on the NCLEX-RN were Chemistry 108 grade, student learning style, and race. The results of this study can be used by nursing faculty to enhance nursing students' success on the NCLEX-RN. The use of these predictors will allow early identification of those students who are likely to have difficulty in passing the NCLEX-RN, thus providing adequate time and opportunities for appropriate interventions.
