Abstract

Systematic use of competency testing fosters success in student transition to clinical nursing practice. Chi-square analysis found a relationship between standardized assessments, NCLEX passage, clinical decision making, and quality and safety competencies. Reliable assessments that support a safe transition to practice are essential in nursing education.
