ABSTRACT. This study evaluated the extent to which Jolo graduates with a bachelor’s degree in
nursing are influenced by several factors when taking the Nurse Licensure Examination. After
using purposive sampling to obtain 100 samples using the non-probability sampling approach, and
utilizing the weighted mean, standard deviation, t-test for independent samples, One-way
ANOVA, and Pearson’s r, The following conclusions are drawn from this study: 1) Of the 100
nurse respondents, the majority are single, between the ages of 23 and 25; 2) On average, nurse
respondents are highly satisfied with the contributing factors that enabled them to pass the Nurse
Licensure Examination; 3) In general, variables such as age, civil status, and year of graduation do
not influence how nurses in Jolo assessed the extent of factors influencing the success of the Nurse
Licensure Examination among graduates of Bachelor of Science in Nursing; 4) group of nurse-
respondents who generally believed that the school factor and examination factor were the main
factors influencing the success of the Nurse Licensure Examination among Bachelor of Science in
Nursing Graduates in Jolo, respectively, and the review factor and candidate factor, respectively,
were the main factors influencing the success of the examination, may be the same group of nurse-
respondents who believed that the factors influencing the success of the examination were the main
factors. 5) The study supports Bandura’s social learning theory, arguing that social imitation,
influenced by attention, motivation, attitudes, and emotions, is the primary method for teaching
activities through observation, imitation, and modeling.
KEYWORDS: Bachelor Of Science In Nursing, Nurse Licensure Examination, Success Factors
Introduction
Results from the Nurse Licensure Examination (NLE) are typically used to assess the quality
of undergraduate nursing programs provided by higher education institutions (HEIs) in the
Philippines (Bautista JR, Ducanes G, David CC. 2019). Based on the specified skills of the
curriculum, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing graduate can practice safe and effective nursing care.
Before beginning work, they must, however, be listed as registered nurses. As a result, it is crucial
to constantly consider predictors when altering institutional policies for the implementation of
curricula (Kiblasan, J. I. A., & Ligligen, S. C. A. 2020).

To satisfy the rising demand for skilled registered nurses and avoid the negative consequences
of graduates failing the National Council Licensure Examination-Registered Nurse, it is critical to
boost students’ exam success. (Yeom, Yei-Jin. 2013). Nursing schools could benefit from
implementing a standardized competency assessment at the end of the program to assess students’
success in the NLE (Oducado et al., 2019).
Identifying factors related with NCLEX-RN success is crucial in public nursing colleges with
varied student populations. There were significant associations observed between NCLEX-RN
achievement and total undergraduate nursing program grade point average, English as the major
language spoken at home, lack of family duties or expectations, lack of emotional distress, and
critical thinking skills. (Diane Arathuzik, Cynthia Aber 1998). Students’ performance will improve
if appropriate trained teaching staff is available, and college/schools and clinical settings are
equipped with all necessary updated learning instructional resources. Furthermore, providing
orientation to teaching staff on effective curriculum implementation will increase student
performance, and curriculum duration should be considered as a method to offer appropriate time
for implementing nursing curriculum (Masenga, H. H. 1970, January 1).
According to Dr. Pasay-An (2021), new statistics show that the passing percentage in nurse
licensure examinations in the United States and Canada decreased between 2017 and 2019.
Meanwhile, passing rates for the Philippine Nurse Licensure Examination grew to 41.9% in 2018
and 53.7% in 2019, respectively, while the Saudi Nurse Licensure Examination increased to 70%
in 2018 and 83% in 2019. In the United States, Havrilla et al. (2018) found that grade point average
(GPA) and participation in extensive mock examinations were predictors of NCLEX-RN
performance. Other countries’ studies have investigated the factors that contribute to a successful
nurse licensure examination (Dr. Pasay-An, 2021).
In the Philippines, the results of the May 2022 Philippine Nurse Licensure Examinations
(PNLE) have been released, and the stats thus far appear promising. A total of 9,729 aspiring
nurses sat the exam on May 29 and 30, with 6,616 of them passing. This corresponds to a 68.00%
passing rate (ABBA, 2022). The most significant part of this semester’s reading is that it had the
greatest NLE semester passing rate ever recorded. Since 1996, around 42.58% of candidates have
passed the exam. Take note that 2020 NLEs were canceled for safety reasons, and last year’s first
semester NLE was the first opportunity for prospective nurses to take the exam since COVID-19
(ABBA, 2022). ABBA (2022) claimed that a number of factors could have caused this record-
breaking result, but they are focusing on two possibilities. First, the suspension of the 2020 NLEs
may have allowed many nurses additional time to prepare, resulting in higher chances of passing
the exam. Second, many of the 2021 and 2022 students were among the first to complete the new
K-12 academic program. Despite an increase in passing rates, many nurses continue to fail the
license exam, delaying their entry into the nursing industry (Dr. Pasay-An, 2021).
In this context, it was necessary to examine the parameters impacting the success of the nursing
licensure examination among Bachelor of Science in Nursing graduates from five colleges in Jolo.
In June 1990, Notre Dame of Jolo College pioneered the establishment of the BSN baccalaureate
program in Jolo to address the province’s nursing need. Sulu State College followed in 2004, along
with Mindanao State University, Southwestern Mindanao Islamic Institute, and Sulu College of
Technology Inc. According to the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) School
Performance in the Year 2022 Second Semester of NLE, the overall performance of NDJC was
33.06% equivalent to 40 passers out of 121 takers, MSU was 60% 3 passers out of 2 takers, SSC
was 58.97% 46 passers out of 78 takers, SCT was 32.14% 9 passers out of 28 takers, and the SMII
Soial Psychology and Human Experience

had a total of 15.79% 12 out of 76 takers passed the examination. Currently, few studies have been
undertaken to establish the elements influencing the success of nurse licensure exams. As a result,
the researcher was motivated to undertake research on the factors impacting nurse license exam
achievement among Jolo Bachelor of Science in Nursing graduates. This thesis digs into a critical
assessment of the elements that influence nursing graduates’ achievement on the Jolo licensure
exam. Given the complexity of the road from nursing school to professional practice, the
researcher’s work seeks to uncover the hidden interconnections of variables that lead to success
on the Nurse Licensure Examination for graduates in this province. Through a detailed analysis,
the researcher shed light on the various factors that influence the accomplishment of prospective
nurses in Jolo, resulting in a better understanding of the dynamics driving licensure examination
outcomes in this province.
Research Questions
This study aimed to determine the extent of factors influencing the success of Nurse Licensure
Examination among Bachelor of Science in Nursing Graduates in Jolo, Specifically, this study
answered the following questions:
1. What is the Socio-Demographic Profile of selected Nurses in Jolo in terms of;
1.1 Age;
1.2 Civil Status; and
1.3 Year Graduated?
2. What is the extent of the factors that influence the success of the Nurse Licensure Examination
among Bachelor of Science in Nursing graduates in Jolo in terms of;
2.1 School Factor;
2.2 Candidate Factor;
2.3 Examination Factor; and
2.4 Review Program Factor?
3. Is there a significant difference between the extent of the factors influencing the success of the
Nurse Licensure Examination among Bachelor of Science in Nursing Graduates in Jolo when data
are grouped according to their socio-demographic profile in terms:
3.1 Age;
3.2 Civil Status; and
3.3 Year Graduated?
4. Is there a significant correlation among the subcategories subsumed under the extent of factors
influencing the success of the Nurse Licensure Examination among Bachelor of Science in Nursing
Graduates in Jolo?
Literature
This chapter reviewed the relevant literature and studies that the researcher considered when
deciding the significance of the current study. It also provided a synthesis of the art in order to
fully comprehend the research and obtain a deeper understanding of the subject.
Foreign Literature and Studies
The study by Oatme, Waropastrakul, and Sarnkhaowkhom (2021) examined the factors
affecting the results of the national nursing license examination among newly graduated nurses in
Thailand. The study involved 113 students from Saint Louis College, Thailand, and used a mixed
methods approach. The results showed that 65 (57.52%) of the newly graduated nurses passed the
exam, with motivation from family obligations and peer pressure. However, the study found that
certain facilities were not conducive to exam preparation. Dr. Eddieson Pasay-An’s study uses

artificial neural networks to assess the success factors of nursing interns in Saudi Arabia on the
Saudi Nursing Licensure Examination (SNLE). The study involved 62 interns from the University
of Hail and used a cross-sectional, analytic approach. The results showed that study hours and
grade point average (GPA) were strong determinants of success, while age, marital status, gender,
and academic program type were considered less important. The study suggests that exam
preparation activities, such as preparation programs, review classes, and simulations, can enhance
success. The study by Oducado, Cendaña, & Belo-Delariarte (2019) investigated the relationship
between institutional competency assessment (TCA) and other factors influencing the Nurse
Licensure Examination (NLE) performance of nursing graduates. The research used data from
West Visayas State University and found that TCA was significantly related to NLE performance.
Other factors, such as High School Grade General Average, College Grade General Weighted
Average, and college admission tests, were also significantly correlated with NLE rating. The
study by Quinn, Smolinski, & Peters (2018) highlights the importance of the National Council
Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) for new graduate nurses and schools
of nursing (SONs). It suggests that nursing faculty must prepare students to pass the exam,
focusing on critical thinking, test-taking skills, and psychosocial well-being. The study suggests
that SONs should consider multifaceted approaches, including curriculum revision, review
courses, study schedules, remediation, and standardized testing.
The study by Havrilla, Zbegner, and Victor (2018) found that a comprehensive mentorship
program at the Passan School of Nursing at Wilkes University improved the NCLEX-RN pass rate
from 79.17% in 2014 to 90.14% in 2016. The program used gaming strategies, content reviews,
and computerized integrative testing to help students prepare for the licensure examination. The
findings suggest the program has been successful in boosting pass rates. Knowledge of
performance predictors can help with admission selection, the utilization of educational resources
to build nursing competence, and success in getting license to practice (McClelland, Eleanor,
Yang, June, & Glick, Orpha. 1992). Using computer-adaptive quizzing (CAQ) to prepare for the
NCLEX (Pence, Jill & Wood, Felecia. 2018). A good learning strategy was the most important
component for national competency performance, while mental preparation, management
readiness, and the location of the test were all related to exam success (Wardani, Yulia, 2020).
Exam preparation activities like as preparation programs, review classes, and exam simulations
must be pushed and improved in order to increase nursing interns’ passing rates. (Butcon, Vincent;
Pasay-an, Ed; Indonto, Maria Charito Laarni; Villacorte, Liza; and Cajigal, Jupiter. 2021).
Nursing graduates’ academic performance has a moderate influence on passing the Philippine
NLE. Grades in NCM and RLE courses, as well as the Pre-Board Examination, are a weak
predictor of passing the Philippine NLE, with grades in NCM courses having the highest predictive
value (Llego, Jordan, Al-Saqri, Salman, Gabriel, Ellen, and Corpus, Jennie. 2020).
Local Literature and Studies
The Professional Regulatory Commission conducts the Nurses’ Licensure Examination to
screen nursing graduates who will be licensed to practice nursing. Students’ academic performance
in their bachelor program, as well as their performance on the pre-board examination, are important
factors in determining whether they pass or fail the licensure examination. (Ong, Marylou B., et
al. 2012). The study by Montegrico and Oducado (2022) focuses on factors affecting Philippine
Nurse Licensure Examination (PLNE) outcomes. Factors such as intellectual capacity, learning
styles, and psychosocial behaviors also influence individual outcomes. Academic performance,
institutional characteristics, and student achievements are also important predictors of PNLE
success. The study highlights the need to identify the various factors influencing PNLE results to

address high failure rates among nursing graduates and improve the quality of nursing education
in the Philippines. The study by Galon, Lopez, Villarante, and Sanchez (2023) focuses on the
success rate of nursing graduates who fail the Philippine Nurses Licensure Exam (PNLE). The
findings suggest that academic achievement has a high influence on the success of graduates in
licensure exams. The study’s findings could be used by the UC administration to improve the
chances of passing the board examination for future retakes. The study by Bautista, Ducanes, &
David (2019) examines the quality of nursing programs in higher education institutions in the
Philippines using the Nurse Licensure Examination (NLE) results from 2010 to 2016. Findings
show a downward trend in NLE takers and passers, with location, size, type, year of establishment,
and student-faculty ratio being associated with NLE passing rates. Government agencies should
take measures to improve NLE performance. Alma S. Banua’s 2018 study analyzed the factors
affecting the performance of Bicol University graduates in the Nurses’ Licensure Examination
(NLE). The research involved 247 graduates from 2003 to 2007, and found that 58% had a
satisfactory pre-admission profile and superior academic performance in the nursing program.
Academic performance was found to be the best predictor of passing the NLE, suggesting that
colleges should adhere to admission policies and implement teaching-learning strategies to help
students achieve excellent academic performance.
Gender-based humor on social media has evolved as a significant type of social distinction
(Chavez, J.V., Lamorinas, D.D., and Ceneciro, C.C. 2023). Online gender jokes were widely
accepted on social media (Chavez JV and Prado RTD 2023). The cultivation of gender-based
humor on social media promotes oppositional language to gender mainstreaming (Chavez JV,
Cuilan JT, 2024). Religious ideas and systems have a significant impact on people’s opinions
toward same-sex relationships. (Chavez JV, Ceneciro CC, 2024). The comprehensive discourse
analyses of online gender-based humor, message patterns, same-sex relationships, and the gender
mainstreaming campaign provide valuable insights into the societal factors that can significantly
impact Bachelor of Science in Nursing graduates’ success on the nurse licensure examination. By
investigating markers of normalization, tolerance, inequality, discriminatory practices, biases,
stereotyping, disempowering tools, and the influence of social and religious belief systems, we can
gain a better understanding of the larger social context that influences nursing graduates’
performance and outcomes. This information helps us to create an open and supportive
environment in which nursing graduates can achieve professional success and contribute to a more
equitable healthcare system.
AI chat models grow popularity among students because of its accessibility and convenience.
Chat models are programmed to respond to context-specific prompts form different fields and
discipline. AI in education offered opportunities for students to use AI chat models to assist with
their academic tasks. (Duhaylungsod, A.V. and Chavez, J.V. 2023). Examining the use of AI
technologies, such as ChatGPT, in nursing education and examination processes provides useful
insights into how these innovations can affect nursing graduates’ preparation and outcomes. This
understanding opens avenues for harnessing the power of AI to better nursing education, increase
test performance, and eventually contribute to the professional success and growth of nursing
graduates in Jolo.
Methodology
Research methodology is a roadmap that leads researchers from the start of the scientific
endeavor to its conclusion (Harris, 1979). As a result, this chapter’s brief discussion concentrated
on the following issues: research design, study location, respondents/subjects, sample design,
research instrument, data collection procedure, and statistical data treatment.

1. Research design
In this study, a quantitative descriptive design was employed. A descriptive research defines,
interprets, and states the current conditions, as well as providing the knowledge and experience
required to initiate a more detailed examination (Venson & Lyndra et al., 2004).
As such, the goal of this research was to identify the characteristics that influence the success
of the Nurse Licensure Examination among nursing graduates in Jolo.
2. Research Locale
This study was conducted in Jolo, the Philippines’ first municipality and administrative seat for
the Province of Sulu. According to 2020 census figures, the area under consideration had a
population of 137, 266 persons in 2019. Participants in this study graduated from five nursing
schools in Jolo. Notre Dame of Jolo College pioneered the BSN baccalaureate program in June
1990 (NDJC, 2011). Sulu State College followed suit in 2004. Following that, Mindanao State
University, Southwestern Mindanao Islamic Institute, and Sulu College of Technology, Inc.
Established nursing schools to provide hope to families with children and others who aspire to
become professional nurses in future. The concept of factors impacting nurse licensing exam
achievement was narrowed down to four categories: school factor, candidate factor, examination
factor, and review program factor.Sulu State College followed suit in 2004. Following that,

4. Sampling Design
In this study, a purposive sampling strategy was used, with one hundred (100) participants chosen
specifically based on respondent availability. Purposive sampling was used in this study to
guarantee that age, civil status, and academic year of graduation were accurately represented.
5. Research Instrument
A survey questionnaire was the primary study tool used to collect data on the factors that determine
the effectiveness of the nurse licensing examination administered by nurses. This questionnaire
Soial Psychology and Human Experience
(2024) Volume 1 Issue 1
7
was adapted and patterned after Dr. Pasay-An’s (2021) article “Assessment of determinants
predicting success on the Saudi Nursing Licensure Examination by employing artificial neural
network”.
This study used a two-part research instrument. The first section focused on the socio-
demographic characteristics of nursing graduates, such as age, gender, and year of graduation. The
second section discussed the factors that influence the success of the Jolo nursing graduates’
licensure examination. It comprises of 30-item statements on the four components, such as school
factor, applicant factor, examination factor, and review program factor, using 5-point Likert
Scales, as represented in figure 2.

The respondents were given the same English questionnaire because English is the medium of
instruction in nursing schools in the Philippines, specifically in Jolo.
6. Validity and Reliability
A standardized questionnaire from Dr. Pasay-An’s study, “Assessment of Determinants Predicting
Success on the Saudi Nursing Licensure Examination by Employing Artificial Neural Network,”
served as the model and inspiration for this research. However, in order to make the questionnaire
relevant to the current study and its local context, it was reviewed by at least two experts from the
Graduate Studies faculty at Sulu State College.
7. Data Gathering Procedure
The following steps were taken during data collection:
The data gathering process was rigorously designed to ensure that high-quality data were
obtained. The data gathering approach was reviewed with the consultant and authorized by the
panels throughout the initial process to guarantee that the questionnaire was thoroughly validated.
Following the instrument’s validation by field experts. The Dean of Graduate Studies at Sulu State
College and the Research Adviser were contacted to request permission to administer the
questionnaire. Data collection began when the researcher sent a letter to the Deans of five nursing
schools in Jolo requesting the names of graduates from their schools, as well as a letter to selected
participants who would be valuable sources of information for the study titled Factors Influencing
Success in Nurse Licensure Examination among Bachelor of Science in Nursing graduates in Jolo.
The study used a sample size of one hundred (100) successful PNLE examinees who graduated
from five nursing schools in Jolo between 2022 and 2023. The researcher ensured that the
participants understood the full scope of their involvement while also ensuring that data would
only be obtained through a questionnaire. The report provided a full explanation of how the data
was used and safeguarded during the period. In addition, the researcher’s contact information was
provided in case there were any queries or concerns.
After gaining participant consent, the researcher was able to proceed with the research project.
The information gathered was absolutely confidential and only used for educational and research
reasons. To maintain their worth and integrity as volunteers, respondents were kept anonymous
Soial Psychology and Human Experience
(2024) Volume 1 Issue 1
8
throughout the study. To obtain information from respondents, the researcher circulated a
questionnaire form. The survey questions were typically completed in 5 to 6 minutes, giving
respondents plenty of time to react. The researcher ensured that the participants fully and exactly
understood the questions on the survey form, and the researcher provided guidance on the
procedures, with instructions read and clarified to the respondents. In addition, the researcher was
able to address all of the participants’ queries. After retrieving the completed questionnaires, they
were calculated and analyzed using SPSS.
8. Statistical Treatment of Data
Both descriptive and inferential tools were appropriately employed in the treatment of data to be
acquired for this investigation, specifically:
i. The first study question is as follows: “What is the socio-demographic profile of selected nurses
in Jolo in terms of age, civil status, and year of graduation?”” was statistically processed using
Frequency – count and percentage to collect the number and percentage of replies to each question
in this problem and to identify the profile of the respondents;
ii. For study problem number two, “What are the factors that influence the success of the Nurse
Licensure Examination among Bachelor of Science in Nursing graduates in Jolo in terms of school
factor, candidate factor, examination factor, and review factor?”” was statistically treated using
weighted mean and standard deviation to obtain the average answer to the problem and to identify
the extent of factors impacting performance in the nurse licensure examination;
iii. For research problem number three, “Is there a significant difference in the extent of the factors
influencing the success of the Nurse Licensure Examination among Bachelor of Science in Nursing
Graduates in Jolo when data is grouped according to their socio-demographic profile in terms of
age, civil status, and time graduated?”” The statistical treatment T-test for independent samples
and One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were used to detect the significant differences when
data were categorized according to age, civil status, and year graduated; and
iv. For study problem number 4, “Is there a significant correlation between the subcategories
subsumed under the extent of factors influencing the success of the Nurse Licensure Examination
among Bachelor of Science in Nursing Graduates in Jolo?”” The Pearson Product Moment
Correlation Coefficient (Pearson’s r) was used to determine the significant correlation across sub-
categories classified as factors impacting NLE success.
The following rating scale intervals were used in the analysis of the computation results acquired
using both descriptive and inferential statistical tools:
A) A 5-point Likert scale was used to rate respondents’ criteria impacting successful nursing
licensure examinations.
Results And Discussions
This chapter looks into the presentation, analysis, and interpretation of results based on the
data collected for this study. Specifically, it assessed the demographic profile of respondents in
terms of Age, Civil Status, and Year Graduated; the extent of the factors that influence the success
of the Nurse Licensure Examination among Bachelor of Science in Nursing graduates in Jolo in
terms of School Factor, Candidate Factor, Examination Factor, and Review Program Factor; and
the significant correlation and differences in these sub-categories when data are classified
according to respondent.

Table 3.1 compares the extent to which characteristics influence the success of the Nurse
Licensure Examination among Bachelor of Science in Nursing Graduates in Jolo when data are
classified by age. This table shows that the F-values and Probability Values of all sub-categories
included in the scope of the factors impacting the success of the Nurse Licensure Examination
among Bachelor of Science in Nursing Graduates are not significant at alpha.05. This suggests
that, although nurse-respondents varied in age brackets, they do not differ in their judgments about
the magnitude of the factors impacting the success of the Nurse Licensure Examination among
Bachelor of Science in Nursing Graduates in Jolo. This finding implies that a nurse-respondent 26
years old or older may not necessarily be a better perceiver of the extent of the factors influencing
the success of the Nurse Licensure Examination among Bachelor of Science in Nursing Graduates
than those 22 years old or younger, and 23-25 years old, or vice versa. Furthermore, it can be
concluded that Jolo nurses of all ages do not perceive the same elements differently when it comes
to how much of a factor influences a bachelor of science in nursing graduate’s success on the Nurse
Licensure Examination. Therefore, it is safe to conclude that respondents who are nurses view the
extent of factors impacting their success on the Nurse Licensure Examination among Jolo Bachelor
of Science in Nursing graduates to be unaffected significantly by age. Thus, when data are grouped
according to socio-demographic profile in terms of age, the hypothesis that “There is no significant
difference in the extent of the factors influencing the success of the Nurse Licensure Examination
among Bachelor of Science in Nursing graduates” is accepted.

Table 3.2 compares the extent to which factors influence the success of the Nurse Licensure
Examination among Bachelor of Science in Nursing Graduates in Jolo when data are categorized
by civil status. This table shows that, with the exception of the “Candidate Factor,” the F-values
and Probability Values of all other sub-categories included in the extent of the factors influencing
the success of the Nurse Licensure Examination among Bachelor of Science in Nursing Graduates
are not significant at alpha.05. This suggests that, while nurse-respondents’ civil statuses vary,
they do not differ in their assessments of the amount to which circumstances influence the success
of the Nurse Licensure Examination among Bachelor of Science in Nursing Graduates in Jolo.
This finding shows that a nurse-respondent who is married may not be a better judge of the
magnitude of the factors impacting the success of the Nurse Licensure Examination among
Bachelor of Science in Nursing Graduates than those who are single, or vice versa. Furthermore,
it can be concluded that nurses in Jolo, whether married or single, see the same extent of the
elements impacting the success of the Nurse Licensure Examination among Bachelor of Science
in Nursing graduates. As a result, it is reasonable to conclude that fluctuating civil status has no
significant impact on how nurse respondents assess the degree of the elements impacting the
success of the Nurse Licensure Examination among Bachelor of Science in Nursing Graduates in
Jolo. As a result, the hypothesis that “There is no significant difference in the extent of the factors
influencing the success of the Nurse Licensure Examination among Bachelor of Science in Nursing
graduates when data are grouped according to socio-demographic profile in terms of civil status”
is accepted as true.

Table 3.3 compares the extent of the factors impacting the success of the Nurse Licensure

Licensure Examination among Bachelor of Science in Nursing Graduates are not significant at
alpha.05. This suggests that, while nurse-respondents vary in years of graduation, they do not differ
in their judgments of the amount to which factors influence the success of the Nurse Licensure
Examination among Bachelor of Science in Nursing Graduates in Jolo. This finding suggests that
a nurse-respondent who graduated in 2022 may not be a better judge of the extent of the factors
influencing the success of the Nurse Licensure Examination among Bachelor of Science in Nursing
Graduates than those who graduated in 2023, or vice versa. Furthermore, it can be concluded that
nurses in Jolo who graduated in 2022 and 2023 perceive the same extent of the elements
influencing the success of the Nurse Licensure Examination as Bachelor of Science in Nursing
graduates. As a result, it is reasonable to conclude that the variable year of graduation has no
significant influence on how nurse respondents assess the extent of the elements influencing the
success of the Nurse Licensure Examination among Bachelor of Science in Nursing Graduates in
Jolo. As a result, the hypothesis that “There is no significant difference in the extent of the factors

Table 4 shows the relationship between the subcategories listed under the extent of factors
influencing the success of the Nurse Licensure Examination among Bachelor of Science in Nursing
Graduates in Jolo in terms of School Factor, Candidate Factor, Examination Factor, and Review
Program Factor. In particular, the degrees of correlation among the subcategories classified under
the extent of factors impacting the success of the Nurse Licensure Examination among Bachelor
of Science in Nursing Graduates in Jolo are as follows:
i. There is a moderately favorable association between the School and Candidate Factors.
ii. There is a moderate positive association between the School Factor and the Review Factor.
iii. There is a strong positive link between the School Factor and the Examination Factor.
This finding suggests that the group of nurse-respondents who generally believed that the school
factor and examination factor were significant factors influencing the success of the Nurse
Licensure Examination among Bachelor of Science in Nursing Graduates in Jolo, either as Agree
or with Strongly Agree, may also be the same group of nurse-respondents who believed that the
candidate factor and examination factor were significant factors influencing the success of the
Nurse Licensure Examination among Bachelor of Science in Nursing Graduates in Jolo,
respectively. As for the subcategories covered under the extent of factors impacting the success of
the Nurse Licensure Examination among Jolo Bachelor of Science in Nursing graduates, it is safe
to state that, on the whole, there is a moderate link among them. As a result, the hypothesis that
“Among Bachelor of Science in Nursing Graduates in Jolo, there is no significant correlation
among the subcategories subsumed under the extent of factors influencing the success of the Nurse
Licensure Examination” is rejected.
Conclusion
Nurse-respondents in Jolo are appropriately represented in terms of age, civil status, and year
of graduation. On average, nurse respondents are extremely satisfied with the things that
contributed to their success in passing the Nurse Licensure Examination. In general, variables such
as age, civil status, and year of graduation have no influence on how Jolo nurses judge the extent
of factors influencing the achievement of the Nurse Licensure Examination among Bachelor of
Science in Nursing graduates. The group of nurse-respondents who generally believed that the
school factor had a high or agreeable influence on the success of the Nurse Licensure Examination
among Bachelor of Science in Nursing Graduates in Jolo may also be the same group that believed
that the review factor had a strong or very high influence on the examination and the candidate
factor and examination factor had an agreeable influence. This specific study tends to corroborate
Bandura, A.’s Social Learning Theory. (1977), which contends that attention, motivation,
attitudes, and emotions are among the factors that influence all actions and that they are all taught
through social imitation in terms of observation, imitation, and modeling. The study came to the
conclusion that among the four elements that affect Jolo’s Bachelor of Science in Nursing
graduates’ performance on the Nurse Licensure Examination was the outcome. The success of the
Nurse Licensure Examination has been found to be significantly influenced by the review factor.
