title: New York State baccalaureate performance on NCLEX: implications for faculty.
abstract: First-time candidates' performance on the NCLEX-RN Examination is of special concern to faculty teaching at the baccalaureate level, because the passing rate for these candidates is lower than for associate degree and diploma candidates. This paper focuses on how first-time baccalaureate degree candidates perform on the NCLEX-RN Examination, examines academic as well as nonacademic predictors of success, describes programs used to improve the pass rate at several baccalaureate programs, and presents a discussion of curriculum analysis.
