title: Predicting NCLEX-PN performance for practical nursing students.
abstract: Success on the licensure examination, NCLEX-PN, is a fundamental outcome criterion for practical nursing programs as well as a state requirement for professional practice. Nurse educators and administrators have an interest in identifying factors that predict success on the licensure examination. This study examined demographic, pre-admission, and programmatic variables to determine their predictive value for NCLEX-PN success in a statewide 2-year college system.
