Learning Objective #1: Identify varibles that impact student success on NCLEX-RN.
Learning Objective #2: Describe strategies to increase student success on NCLEX-RN.
Declining rates on NCLEX-RN have drawn the attention of nursing educators across America.  Faculty teaching in an A.D.N. Program located in a small, southern, liberal arts university reacted to this trend by conducting a comprehensive review of its program.  The focus of this review was to identify factors that had a major impact on students’ success (or failure) on the licensing exam.  Over the course of a year, the Curriculum Committee led a review and focused its attention on admissions procedures, instructional methods, and assessment processes (course and curriculum).  Following this intensive review, a detailed strategic plan was developed, focusing on the outcome of student success on the NCLEX-RN. 

This paper will present details on the university’s dedication to improve its NCLEX-RN scores.  Information will be included that provides specific strategies that led to the outcome of 100% passage rate of its students on the NCLEX-RN.
