Supporting Canadian Nursing Students to Write the NCLEX-RN Exam: A Three-Phased Mixed Methods Descriptive Design.

Background: In 2015, the College of Nurses of Ontario, replaced the Canadian Registered Nurse Examination with the NCLEX-RN exam as entry-to-practice. Faculty in a college-university partnership searched for products to provide nursing students with focused practice in writing exams modelled on the Canadian NCLEX-RN test plan.

Purpose: The aim of this three-phased evaluation study was to test and validate NCLEX-RN exam preparation materials newly developed for the Canadian context.
