Reliability and Validity of NCLEX-RN© State Pass Rate Standards
View through CrossRef
Abstract
AIM
The aim of the study was to determine whether state NCLEX-RN© pass rate standards for nursing education programs are valid and reliable.
BACKGROUND
Nursing education programs must meet minimum NCLEX-RN pass rate standards imposed on them by state regulatory bodies. The standards suggest validity and reliability issues.
METHOD
To compute descriptive statistics and reliability coefficients to evaluate state pass rate standards, the study used a database of statutes and regulations that establish pass rate standards and a database of NCLEX-RN pass rates for 2,157 nursing programs in 45 states for 2010 to 2016.
RESULTS
There is substantial variation in state pass rate standards. Nursing education program pass rates are not stable over time, suggesting there may be problems with reliability and validity.
CONCLUSION
State nursing boards should consider revising pass rate standards to make them more consistent and improve the reliability of pass rate violation determinations.
