Abstract

Life Sciences & Biomedicine Nursing Science & Technology
For nursing schools to retain accreditation, their students must achieve a benchmark first-time pass rate on the NCLEX-RN (R) and NCLEX-PN (R) examinations. Because the NCLEX test is updated periodically, based on a practice analysis conducted every 3 years, and due to increasing required benchmark pass rates, nurse educators are challenged to meet these standards. One evidence-based method, a continuous improvement plan, can help education programs achieve success. This approach provides a way to assess and improve a program from the admission period through program progression to graduation. This article describes such a program and its benefits.
