Abstract | This project was intended to provide information which would assist in: (1) assessing the correlation of state board achievement with job satisfaction, on-the-job performance, and length of retention in the field of practical nursing, (2) determining those faculty qualifications which are necessary to produce above-average achievement on the state board examination, (3) determining the percentage of socio-economically disadvantaged practical nursing students who complete the minimum requirements for eligibility to sit for the state board examination, and (4) comparing selected personal and academic characteristics of graduate practical nurses. Data were gathered from practical nurses who graduated in the fall of 1967, 101 instructors from 14 separate practical nursing schools, and from 405 students enrolled in 13 different schools. Job satisfaction scores were fairly equally distributed among the five classes of social groups and the greatest problem of LPN's seemed to be that they felt there was a lack of recognition of their contribution. Results indicate that students taught by instructors who appear too full of their subject and are overly definite and forceful, achieve lower state board scores than would otherwise be the case.
