title: Predicting nursing student's success on NCLEX-RN.
abstract: The purpose of this retrospective pilot study was to evaluate the importance of four predictor variables in predicting success on the NCLEX-RN. The predictor variables included: pre-nursing GPA, ACT scores, comprehensive examination scores and scores on the Basics I, NLN Achievement Test. The subjects were a sample of 35 graduates of a newly developed baccalaureate nursing program. Findings of this study were inconclusive. Basic I test scores were significantly correlated with successful achievement on the NCLEX-RN and were significant predictors of success. The other variables were not significant predictors. Recommendations were to repeat the study with a larger sample.
