Title: Covid-19 Educational Disruption and Delivery Redesign on Traditional BSN Student NCLEX Performance
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to understand the educational disruption and delivery redesign (EDDR) caused by the Covid-19 pandemic on ETSU Baccalaureate of Science in Nursing (BSN) students and the impact on the nursing workforce. Student progress was evaluated by exploring student grade point average (GPA), socio economic determinants of health, Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI) Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS) scores and ATI comprehensive predictor scores on student first-time National Council Licensure Exam for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) pass rates to evaluate the supply of nurses ready to address the national nursing shortage.
Methods: A descriptive longitudinal design with a dose-response analysis was used. A purposive convenience sample of educational records of all traditional BSN students entering the program between Spring 2017 and Fall of 2020 were collected. The primary outcome variable was first-time NCLEX pass rates. COVID-related EDDR was the primary independent variable.
Results: Results are forthcoming, as preliminary data is in the analysis phase.
Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the nursing shortage. Undergraduate nursing education programs are integral to ameliorating the nursing shortage; however, the impact of COVID on traditional BSN education and associated outcomes was not well understood. Study results may provide foundational data to garner HRSA and other educational grants to inform future educational delivery redesigns, improve nursing education, inform educational policy, and improve nursing care delivery and patient outcomes.
