Predicting Nursing Student Success. It is important that higher
education administrators and nursing programs implement admission
practices that are fair, efficient, and effective. Often academic
achievement is used as the primary screening and selection
criterion without comprehensive study regarding the effectiveness
of those variables in predicting student success. This book
describes the state of the literature regarding the use of academic
achievement to predict success in a variety of professional
programs. This book also disseminates the results of a study
involving 294 nursing students in an associate degree nursing
program. The study yielded important information regarding which
academic and demographic variables were predictive of nursing
program completion and NCLEX-RN success. Specific recommendations
are presented for policy and future research. Recommendations focus
on increasing emphasis on variables predictive of student success
in admission policy, using caution when using test scores for
screening and selection of applicants, and employing a variety of
variables in the ranking of applicants.
