The outcomes in this pilot study contradict much of the research on incivility in nursing, which previously found that supervisors are more uncivil toward their staff nurses than the rest of the staff. The results of the current study found that incivility perceptions were higher in the postintervention survey; these findings suggest that the education was effective, thus creating more awareness of incivility. This could be a positive cultural turning point in nursing as it decreases incivility, which in turn will help to decrease medical errors, attrition rates, and the financial burden on hospitals.
Background: First time National Council Licensure Examination-Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) pass rates and successful student progression in a program are considered key indicators of quality of nursing programs. The purpose of this study was to investigate the predictors of first-attempt NCLEX-RN success among multiple factors, and to explore the students’ perception for NCLEX-RN.Methods: A retrospective descriptive design was used including a total of 671 students who were admitted as a junior to the program between spring 2012 and fall 2015. Descriptive statistics and multiple logistic regression models were conducted to find significant predictors of first time NCLEX-RN success.Results: Course grades for adult health, family health, critical care health, and the repeated course history, and HESI scores for adult health, family health, and the EXIT exam were significant predictors of NCLEX-RN success. Students perceived that the review course and practice test were helpful in passing NCLEX-RN.Conclusions: Findings of this study would be beneficial for nursing programs to strategize effectively for students who are at risk of failing and support them in their NCLEX-RN preparation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
