In Indonesia, nursing education is divided into two levels: a four-year academic program with a Bachelor of Nursing (BSN) degree and a one-year professional program with a Ners (NS) degree, both of which require students to pass a competency test. This study aimed to determine the key factors influencing nursing students' success in the Indonesian Nursing Licensing Examination. This study used a cross-sectional design. Data from 351 respondents were analyzed using logistic regression. Several factors, including gender, age, region of origin, high school of origin, Grade Point Average (GPA), and professional-level GPA, were analyzed. The total number of nursing students who passed the competency test was 94.4% on the first exam. This study found that age (p = 0.854), region of origin (p = 0.377), gender (p = 0.084), and previous education (p = 0.850) were not correlated with students' competency scores. A significant positive correlation was shown between GPA and Nursing Competency Test scores (p = 0.000). Professional education GPA is the most important factor influencing the performance and quality of institutions and students in the Indonesian Nursing Licensing Examination (INLE).
