Determination of variables which predict success on the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-PN).

Predictive validity of selected measures of BEED graduates for first-time performance in the licensure examination for teachers

“…For instance, it showed that there is no significant relationship between entrance exam score to board examination in accountancy (Aquino, 2013); clinical grades to board examination in dentistry (Pornillos & Castro, 2015); and GPA to board examination (Efurd, 2012). On the other hand, other studies also reported that GPA was significantly correlated to board examination performance in physical therapy (Krieger, 2015); internship performance to the general pediatrics certification examination performance (Althouse, 2008); and entrance scores to board examination performance in nursing (Kleber, 2011).…”

“…There is substantial evidence that proves how various admission policies and academic outcomes play a crucial role to help provide valid measures to reliably predict the success of the students on the program and national board examinations. Some of these are predictive validity studies of training examination to board examination in medicine (Althouse, 2008); curricular variables to board examination in nursing (Kleber, 2011); academic performance to board examination in engineering (Forones, 2012); entrance grades to board examination in accountancy (Aquino, 2013); clinical grades to board examination in dentistry (Pornillos & Castro, 2015); interview scores to board examination in pharmacy (Cameron et al, 2017); performance indicators during the final internship to the board examination in physical therapy (Bayliss et.al. 2017); and others mostly in the field of health sciences.…”

“…Additionally, Kleber (2011) studied whether background and curricular variables can predict success on the National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses. There were four hundred 411 sampled students from practical nursing programs.…”

Predictors of Students’ Performance in Nursing and Midwifery Technician Licensure Examination in Southern Malawi

“…The past decade registered poor performance of students in NMT licensure examinations despite the government and other stakeholders instituting strategies to ensure high-quality training for nurses and midwives 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 . Because of the value placed on success in NMT licensure examinations for both students and the program, it is significant for nurse educators to determine predictors of success in the licensure examinations 9 , 10 . Therefore, we conducted this study to determine whether students' socio-demographic and academic characteristics could predict NMT licensure examination performance in Malawi, especially on the first attempt.…”
