This study was conducted to determine if there is relationship between the passing percentage and possible factors affecting the board performance among nursing transferees from Cavite State University in the year 2007, 2008 and 2009. Specifically, it aimed to determine the passing percentage in licensure examinations of the nursing transferees; determine the possible factors affecting the performance of the transferees in the Nursing Licensure Examination (NLE) such as family income, academic achievements, peer and family support, nursing licensure examination practice test areas, considerations in taking NLE and preparatory behavior; assess the difference between the factors affecting CvSU nursing transferees who passed and failed from the NLE; and to assess the significant relationship between the factors and the actual nursing licensure examination performance.

This study was conducted at the CvSU - Don Severino de las Alas Campus, Indang Cavite, selected schools in Cavite such as Olivarez College - Tagaytay Campus; University of Perpetual Help - GMA; and Emilio Aguinaldo College - Dasmarinas Campus, and different houses of the respondents from June 2009 - March 2010. The respondents were CvSU nursing transferees who continued their study in the said school.

The researchers used descriptive design employing the secondary data wherein lists of Cavite State University enrollees in the year 2002 - 2005, Associate graduates in the year 2004 - 2006 and Nursing Graduates from selected schools in the year 2007 - 2009 in order to provide data and describe the nature of conditions and then making adequate and accurate interpretations about the NLE. They also used the simple random sampling technique in the study particularly to control the effects of selection bias among nursing schools in Cavite. Another technique emphasized was is the purposive sampling method wherein it was used to make the sample agree with the profile of the population which composed of forty-six (46) respondents based on some pre-selected characteristics such as the sample being all transferees from CvSU College of Nursing, graduated from the selected nursing schools and took the licensure examination in the years 2007 - 2009. The nest one is the Mann-Whitney U test to determine the significant
difference between the factors affecting CvSU nursing transferees who passed and failed to the NLE performance. After that is the Point Biserial and Chi Square to determine the relationship between possible factors and performance in the licensure examination.

The questionnaire used in the study was constructed and formulated. It consists of three parts. The first part is a narrative type of survey where it identifies the demographic profile of the respondents including the name, age, gender, civil status, and schools graduated which was used to identify their school to differentiate them from each other. The researchers determined their percentage to be able to identify the occurrence of transferees and their passing percentage per school. On the second part is the family income. The researchers determined their percentage to be able to identify to which income range where they belong specifically: a. 5,000 and below; b. 5,001 to 10,000; c. 10,001 and above. On the third part are the questions about the factors that may affect their licensure performance specifically the academic achievements, peer, and family supports consisting of fourteen items (14) and nursing licensure examination practice test areas, consideration taken in taking nursing licensure examination and preparatory behavior consisting of twenty-five items (25).

The responses obtained for each item of the questionnaire was classified, tallied and
tabulated and later subjected to the following statistical procedures were employed: 1) frequency counts; 2) percentage; 3) weighted means; and 4) verbal interpretation.

Based on the study, the following findings were noted:

1. Majority of the transferees from three selected schools did not pass the NLE in the year 4007 - 2009 due to the factors that was given by the researcher that affects their performance in the NLE.
2. It was found that the possible factors such as academic achievements, peer and family support, NLE practice test areas, considerations in taking NLE, and preparatory behavior prior to taking NLE affect the performance of nursing transferees in their nursing licensure examination except for the family income.
3. Itis clearly indicated that there is a significant difference between the factors affecting Cavite State University nursing transferees who passed and failed to the NLE performance.
4, Lastly, there is no significant difference between the factors affecting CvSU nursing transferees who passed and failed in the NLE except for the family support..
