Predicting Success for Associate Degree Nursing Students in a Concept-Based Curriculum

The study objective was to assess critical thinking scores, National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) prediction scores, and NCLEX-RN pass rates for associate degree nursing (ADN) students educated with a concept-based curriculum. Results suggested that a concept-based curriculum can assist in developing critical thinking among ADN students, and critical thinking and probability of pass scores may be used as predictors for first-time NCLEX-RN passage for ADN students in a concept-based curriculum.
