AB  - BACKGROUND: The long-standing underachievement in the Indonesian national nursing 
      competency examination (NNCE) has been a common concern, and there is limited 
      information on the preparation program for this licensure examination. OBJECTIVE: 
      To develop an NNCE preparation program model and evaluate its effectiveness in 
      increasing competency among nursing graduates. DESIGN: A quasi-experimental study 
      using participatory action research (PAR). SETTING: Faculty of nursing of a 
      full-boarding private university in Indonesia. PARTICIPANTS: The participants 
      were selected with the purposive sampling method. The 23 course coordinators and 
      clinical instructors met the inclusion criteria of having worked for at least 
      five years as classroom teachers and at least one year as course coordinators or 
      clinical instructors. The 85 nursing graduates met the inclusion criteria of 
      having finished the internship program and planned to take the NNCE. METHODS: The 
      model was developed using PAR and the evaluation done to measure the increase in 
      the competency level and the level of perceived readiness and satisfaction of 
      both the participant educators and nursing graduates. RESULTS: The proposed model 
      consists of core components and essential concepts. The core components are a 
      holistic preparation process, active involvement and participation, knowledge and 
      skill specialty, sharp examination-taking and skills, motivation to join the 
      program and self-confidence to pass the NNCE, and time commitment for the 
      preparation program. The essential concepts consist of awareness and trust, 
      desire to change, sense of responsibility, mutual collaboration, equipped and 
      empowered to act, definite direction and goals, mentoring. The model's evaluation 
      indicated a significant increase in competency level, overall perceived readiness 
      for the national nursing competency examination, and degree of satisfaction with 
      the preparation program. CONCLUSIONS: The implementation of the preparation model 
      effectively increased the nursing graduates' competency level, and both the 
      participating educators and nursing graduates were satisfied with its 
      effectiveness.
