This book was released on 2007 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growing nursing shortage will call for accessible and flexible nursing education. Online learning, uniquely at the associate degree nursing level, can provide nursing education without the barriers of the traditional classroom. Selecting appropriate applicants for success in the online environment is critical. The purpose of this study was to determine pre-admission predictors of success in the first and second semester nursing courses among online associate degree nursing students. Stepwise multiple regression analysis explored academic skills, learning style preferences, and personal habits for their contribution to academic success in 202 online nursing students. A composite score of the Test of Essential Academic Skills instrument by Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI), LLC, predicted success. Utilizing ATI's Self Assessment Inventory instrument, there were no positive correlations between learning styles and personal habits and nursing course success. A lesser important negative relationship was an individual learning style preference and second semester nursing course success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current national shortage of practicing registered nurses is exacerbated by an accompanying shortage of nurse educators, which limits program enrollments in Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) programs. Relatively low available enrollment in nursing programs is coupled with a national first year retention rate of 64% (National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission [NLNAC], 2008), which leaves ADN educational leaders struggling to find improved ways to increase graduation rates through better identification of qualified applicants. This exploratory, action research study examined commonly used ADN admission criteria in order to identify those indicators which best predict students' first semester success at a small private northeastern United States college. The predictive ability of common ADN admission variables (TEAS scores in the areas of math, science, and English; overall TEAS score; age; gender; and math, science, and English course grades) was determined with regard to student success outcome variables (medication/math exam grade, Nurse Fundamental course grade, Nurse Health Assessment course grade, and Assessment Technology Institute [ATI] Nursing I Fundamental Content Mastery Series scores). Using an exploratory, action research design, data from 120 freshman nursing students were examined to assess the relative contributions of each of the predictor variables on forecasting students' first semester success. The study's methodology involved a simple correlation and regression analysis of the data. Selected Admission's variables were shown to be correlated to certain outcome variables. These Admission's variables included, the TEAS overall score, the last science course grade on admission (ACGs), the TEAS score in English, and the student's last earned English course on admission (ACGe). Only the TEAS total score showed correlation with success over a broad range of success score, i.e. ATIs, FUNg, and HAg. Overall, it was concluded that the ability of the admission variables to predict a specific score on student outcome assessment was weak. As a result of this study, the college's Admission office and nursing department will use the information to modify Admission's policies, develop pre-admission workshops, and continue to implement program initiatives to further support student success in an ADN nursing program. Further studies are warranted in order to assist other colleges in determining the level of academic qualifications most desirable in selecting students capable of success in their ADN nursing program.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although multiple studies exist which evaluate the relationship between a student’s academic persistence, progression, and retention, few studies have evaluated the relationship between pre-requisite science courses and persistence in an Associate Degree Nursing program. With a national nursing shortage, greater emphasis on the retention of students who are enrolled in nursing programs must be maintained. Emphasis at both the state and national level to respond to the Institute of Medicine 2010 Report on the Future of Nursing are necessary to further bridge the gap in academia between Associate Degree Nursing programs and Bachelor of Science in nursing programs. The purpose of this retrospective secondary data analysis was to evaluate the relationship between academic performance on pre-requisite science courses and Associate Degree Nursing student outcomes. A retrospective, secondary data analysis design was used to guide data collection and analysis. Tinto’s Model of Student Retention served as the foundation of this study. The study sample population consisted of Associate Degree Nursing students enrolled in one pre-licensure nursing program in the Midwest. Demographic data included all Associate Degree Nursing students from the multi-site community college in the Midwest from the inception of the stand-alone program in the fall 2015 to present who have graduated. Program data for this participant group of Associate Degree Nursing cohorts were entered into Statistical Package for Social Sciences software and coded appropriately. All statistical tests for analysis of the secondary data were conducted using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. The findings from this study will inform further studies capable of examining practices associated with selecting required pre-requisite courses, as well as developing a greater understanding for the implication(s) of failed prerequisite courses and the likelihood of further unsuccessful attempts. Once the relationship is established, an intervention can be explored, and further data can be collected and analyzed.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attrition in the first semester of an ADN program tends to be high and remains a concern for nursing program administrators. Most unsuccessful students in nursing programs leave in the first or second semesters; therefore, studies are needed focused on this early part of ADN programs. One of the challenges for the admissions committee is to determine which admission criteria lead to student success. Nursing schools should choose applicants with the academic aptitude that can meet the demands of rigorous nursing coursework. The purpose of this descriptive correlational study was to evaluate the current admission criteria for a private, nonprofit college's ADN program and determine which criteria correlate with students' success in the first semester. Why some students fail the initial course, Fundamentals of Nursing (NUR101), is an important area of research. Analysis of admission criteria was conducted to determine the predictors of student success in this early part of the ADN program. This study used descriptive and inferential statistics to analyze the data. The independent variables were students' pre-nursing GPA, math grades, science grades, composite score on the TEAS V standardized nursing admission examination, and the college's selection point system (SPS). Also, student's demographic information: gender, age, marital status, student status (full-time/part-time), employment status (working/not working), household income, and prior degree (whether or not a student has an associate degree or higher) were included in the IV's. The dependent variable is the student's final grade in the first semester course of the ADN program. A nonprobability convenience sampling of 130 students comprised two cohorts of first-semester ADN students in the fall 2015 and spring 2016 semesters. The current admission criteria found significant were: Math Grade (p = .041), college GPA (p = .001), and Selection Point System (p =
