Description: This study evolved from a belief of the researcher that success or failure of graduates of an associate degree nursing program on the R.N. licensure examination could be predicted and that the knowledge of those predictive factors provided specific management implications. The need for this study was underscored by the high attrition rates nationally in nursing programs of all types and the initiation of institutional and program effectiveness requirements by accrediting agencies.

The first step in this study was to identify multiple factors related to success or failure on the RN licensure examination. A retrospective audit of student records provided data on graduates of a minority-based associate degree nursing program between the years of 1984 and 1993. Licensure examination results for these graduates were also obtained. Through use of chi-square analysis, factors related to licensure results were determined.

The factors determined to be related to licensure examination results were the analyzed to determine the management implications. Specific areas of implication considered include admissions, readmissions, progression, transfer, challenge, remediation, recruitment, articulation, and student advising and orientation. Related areas of implication include faculty hiring and retention, and curriculum structure.
