title: Innovative staff development approaches for NCLEX-RN success.
abstract: NCLEX-RN Licensure success is achievable when the institution provides administrative support, has a committed staff development department, and allocates necessary resources and support services. This program was designed and delivered in a cost-effective manner. The candidates attended the on-site review course and tutoring sessions before their assigned work time. The tutoring sessions offered by the staff development instructors were held during their regularly scheduled hours. The consultant's fee for the on-site review course was $200 per eligible candidate, for a total of $7,600. Specifically, employers and staff development departments must take a strong role not only in acclimating newly graduated and foreign-educated nurses to the professional environment, but also in helping to prepare them for the NCLEX-RN Licensure Examination. Thus, staff development educators can effectively ensure that their institutions will not lose valuable registered nurses.
