The Clinical Judgment Registered Nurse Readiness Examinations (CJE-RN REs) have been adopted by nursing schools for the last 5 years.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to validate the use of the CJE-RN REs by examining the relationship with first-time pass rates among nursing students.
Background: Clinical education provides important learning opportunities for students. Finding clinical sites and faculty can be a challenge. Exploring the relationship between the number of clinical practice hours and NCLEX-RN success may be helpful for curriculum development and revision.
