Unfortunately, a shortage of nurses requires that more nursing students graduate from nursing programs to meet the health care needs of the population. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of pre-nursing grade point average, Assessment Technologies Institute\u2019s Critical Thinking Entrance scores and sub-scores, age, ethnicity, gender, as predictors of success or attrition rates in the first six nursing courses. Theoretical Framework: A modified model adapted from Bean and Metzner\u2019s Conceptual Model of Nontraditional Undergraduate Student Attrition. Methods: A retrospective correlation design evaluated a sample of 129 students from the admission cohort from spring and fall of 2010. Results: Statistical significance was found between academic success rates and two sub scores from Assessment Technologies Institute\u2019s Critical Thinking Entrance exam. The sub-scores for analysis and evaluation were found to be statistically significant within the sample and for students enrolled in two medical-surgical courses. Pre-nursing grade point average was also found to be statistically significant for the sample and for the Psychiatric Nursing course. Implications: The findings from this study may provide nursing education an alternative method to evaluate potential student applicants for academic success within a nursing program. The findings also extend the current literature regarding the predictability of pre-nursing grade point average as admission criteria for applicants for nursing school. Conclusion: The research findings in this study may illuminate new alternatives for admission criteria of nursing students. The Critical Thinking Entrance exam from Assessment Technologies Institute may identify qualities of nursing students that will effectively predict academic success. Increasing nursing students academic success will reduce attrition rates and may increase nursing graduates to reduce the nursing shortage." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Classification" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "RT79.G34 2012" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Publication Date" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "2012" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Genre" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Academic theses" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Holding Location" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Barry University Archives and Special Collections" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Resource Identifier" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "RT79.G34 2012_GaglianoPatricia" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Language" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "English" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Permanent Link" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "http://sobekcmsrv.barrynet.barry.edu/AA00001688/00001" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Creator" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Gagliano, Patricia A." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Note" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Thesis (Ph.D.)--Barry University, 2012.", "Includes bibliographical references (leaves 128-141)." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Physical Description" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "xi, 150 leaves ; 28 cm" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Publisher" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Barry University" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Place of Publication" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Miami, Fla." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Type" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Book" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Rights Management" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Copyright Patricia A.
