A Plan to Promote NCLEX-RN Success of Saudi Arabian Nurse Graduates

Saudi Arabian nursing graduates have difficulty succeeding on the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). To assist nursing graduates to perform well on the exam, international nursing schools need to reduce students' test anxiety and improve their proficiency with the English language. Additionally, international schools need to focus on developing a curriculum that includes application-based-content and testtaking strategies. This paper is a proposal of a plan to promote the NCLEX-RN success of those students who graduated from King Saud University in Saudi Arabia. The paper provides different interventions to increase the success rate among Saudi nursing graduates. Roger's diffusion of innovation theory was also used to design the plan that seeks to improve the quality of nursing education at King Saud University. The change at the nursing school is needed to help increase Saudi nursing graduates passing the NCLEX-RN.
