  • Title: A 15-Year Trend Study of Internationally Educated Nurses' NCLEX-RN Performance.
    Author: Montegrico J.
    Journal: Nurs Educ Perspect; ; 42(1):22-28. PubMed ID: 32472863.
    Abstract:
    AIM: The aim of the study was to describe trends in internationally educated nurses' (IEN) National Council Licensure Examination-Registered Nurses (NCLEX®-RN) performance from 2003 to 2017 and to determine the odds of passing the exam based on country of nursing education. BACKGROUND: IEN comprise 5.6 percent of US nurses; more than half come from the Philippines. There is a lack of research on IEN NCLEX-RN performance. METHOD: Correlational research was used to determine the performance and likelihood of passing the NCLEX-RN based on country of nursing education using secondary data analysis. Odds ratios were estimated to express the odds of passing. RESULTS: IEN NCLEX-RN applications and pass rates are decreasing. The odds of passing the NCLEX-RN among Philippine-educated nurses are lower compared to all other IEN. The odds of passing the Canadian NCLEX-RN are higher for all IEN. CONCLUSION: The low NCLEX-RN pass rate of IEN reflects differences in nursing education and practice across countries.
