Abstract
The healthcare industry has registered nurses from various academic and clinical backgrounds. With nurses accounting for a significant number of healthcare professionals, there is a continued need for nursing students to be successful on the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). One role of nursing faculty members is to promote student success on the NCLEX. Nursing faculty members may have varied educational backgrounds, with the most common being master’s and doctoral degrees. There is a gap in nursing education literature regarding if specific faculty credentials are predictive of NCLEX-RN® pass rates in pre-licensure nursing programs. A cross-sectional correlational retrospective quantitative study was conducted to address the gap in the literature. Data were collected from publicly available records from 88 nursing programs in the Northeastern region of the United States and included two-year associate degrees and four-year bachelor's degree programs, consisting of private and public institutions. Simple linear regression was used to analyze if nursing faculty credentials were predictive of NCLEX-RN® pass rates of pre-licensure nursing programs. The results indicated that the sample did not provide statistically significant evidence that nursing faculty credentials played a role in students’ success on the NCLEX-RN®. Future recommendations for research include investigation of nursing faculty perceptions of the credentials and NCLEX-RN® pass rates from a qualitative approach.
