A clinical teaching and evaluation tool was created to improve clinical judgment and diagnostic reasoning for Practical Nursing (PN) and Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) students in preparation for the Next-Generation National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). Implementation of the PURPOSE tool offers a structured approach for nursing students to obtain and retain necessary clinical information in a variety of populations and settings. In addition, the PURPOSE tool provides all levels of faculty a consistent method to contribute to clinical evaluation. Integration of the PURPOSE tool at a large community college in the Southeast resulted in a 100% NCLEX pass rate for new stand-alone program PN graduates.
