Abstract:
This study determined the relationship between the academic performance and nursing
licensure examination of graduates of a city-subsidized university and the nursing
professional subjects that best predict the outcome of the nursing licensure examination.
The study used a descriptive-correlation design. Academic records of two batches in
2012 and 2013 were used. Independent variables included the nursing professional
subjects and the dependent variables were the subtests in the licensure examination.
Means, standard deviations, Pearson r correlation, and Multiple Regression Analysis
were used for the quantitative data. Findings reveal that graduates were average
performers in their academics. This was inversely correlated with the nursing licensure
examination. This still suggests direct relationship since the grading system in the
university ranged from 1.0 to 5.0 where 1.0 is excellent. Critical Appraisal II, Nursing Care
Management 104, and Nursing Care Management 106 were significant predictors of
performance in the licensure examination.
