Abstract :
A study was conducted to examine the
relationship between board performance and
professional subjects among nursing graduates who took
the Nursing Licensure Examination (NLE) in November
2022 from Isabela State University (ISU) Echague. The
objective was to determine if there is a significant
relationship between grades in undergraduate nursing
professional subjects and board exam ratings. Data was
collected from 100 respondents who recently completed
their Bachelor of Science in nursing degree at ISU
Echague using a quantitative research approach. The
study analyzed their scores in professional subjects such
as Medical-Surgical Nursing, Maternal and Child Health
Nursing, Psychiatric Nursing, and Community Health
Nursing to evaluate their performance on the PNLE. The
overall weighted average and Nursing Practice 1–5
means were compared using a one-way ANOVA to see if
any of those means differed statistically from the other.
The findings showed that the respondents performed
best in Intensive Nursing Practicum, a subject related to
Nursing Practice III, IV, and V, but no significant
relationship was found. The lowest performance was
observed in Nursing Research 1, which covered Medical
Surgical Nursing and Psychiatric Nursing in Nursing
Practice III and had the lowest board exam rate. The
study identified significant relationships between Health
Assessment, Disaster Nursing, Care of Older Adult and
Psychiatric Nursing, indicating that higher academic
performance in these subjects correlated with better
board exam performance. This study examines factors
affecting nursing graduates' board success and aims to
improve curriculum and licensure readiness by linking
professional subjects to board performance. It will
benefit educators and curriculum developers in ensuring
future nursing practitioners' competency.
