  • Title: Accelerated second-degree nursing students: predictors of graduation and NCLEX-RN first-time pass rates.
    Author: Penprase BB, Harris MA.
    Journal: Nurse Educ; 2013; 38(1):26-9. PubMed ID: 23222629.
    Abstract:
    It is important to understand and identify factors that affect students' academic performance before entry into a nursing program and as they progress through the program. The authors discuss a study, and its outcomes, that assessed accelerated second-degree nursing students' prenursing and core nursing grades that served to predict their success at completing the nursing program and passing NCLEX-RN on first attempt. Strategies were identified to help at-risk students to be successful in the program and with first-time passage of NCLEX-RN.
