Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine if admission selection strategies that utilize cumulative and/or pre-requisite GPA are predictive of timely graduation for associate degree nursing (RN-AD) students. Data were obtained from de-identified records of 437 associate degree nursing students enrolled in three Midwest community colleges from 2003-2006. Of the total sample, only 44% of the students graduated on time (i.e., in four semesters or two years). Although a statistically significant difference was found for timely graduation rates between colleges (ranging from 29% in College B to 54% in College A), no relationship was found for cumulative GPA, pre-requisite GPA, age or race/ethnicity with timely graduation in the total sample (N=437). Logistic regression revealed that neither cumulative nor pre-requisite GPA was predictive of timely graduation even after controlling for college. The rationale for using selective admission criteria that include per-requisite or cumulative GPA is based on the assumption that competitive admission criteria using grades draw the most qualified students with the highest probability for graduatrion. The results of this study do not support the assumption that those with the highest probability of graduating on time can be found by admitting individuals by pre-requisite or cumulative GPA. Other factors for timely graduation from associate degree nursing programs must be investigated to determine which independent variables are predictive of timely graduation, including research that targets single science courses and cluster variables as predictors. In addition, further research into reasons for high attrition rates and prolonged graduation are urgently needed.

Book excerpt: AbstractAN EXAMINATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ASSOCIATE DEGREE PROGRAM PREADMISSION GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA), AMERICAN COLLEGE TEST (ACT) SCORES AND DEGREE COMPLETION AND SUCCESS ON THE NATIONAL COUNCIL LICENSURE EXAMINATION-REGISTERED NURSES (NCLEX-RN).Associate Degree Nursing programs in Alabama have more applicants than available spots, making them highly competitive programs to gain entry. The community colleges that offer these programs are facing many challenges including performance-based funding, open-enrollment policies, and high attrition rates. Given these conditions, program directors institute an application grading process in an effort to select applicants whom the programs believe is most likely to graduate and to be successful on the NCLEX-RN licensure exam. This study examines the relationship of the American College Testing (ACT),) and students pre-admissions GPAs in an attempt to interpret which academic factor makes a better predictor of student success. The study revealed that GPA was the only statistically significant indicator for student success in both program completion and NCLEX-RN pass on the first attempt.Keywords: Student Success, Alabama Community College Nursing, ACT Scores, GPA.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The independent variables are demographics, prenursing science course grades, grades in junior and senior nursing courses and GPAs calculated at specific points in the educational process. The best variables to predict graduation are three junior level nursing courses, the junior level GPA, and the GPA of all nursing courses. For predicting passing NCLEX, the best predictors are ExitExams (the integration of scores earned on the Mosby's RN AssessTest and the RN Comprehensive Predictor exam), the junior level GPA, and the cumulative college GPA. Neither demographic variables, nor prenursing science course grades, nor the number of C grades earned in nursing courses were predictive of graduation or of passing NCLEX.
