Method: The process involved: (1) engaging the faculty to use current published evidence; and (2) conducting an anonymous survey of previous graduates to identify the factors associated with NCLEX-RN success in the school's student population. Logistic regression analysis was conducted on a sample of 165 graduates of the program.
