Through the planning phase, the nurse applies critical thinking skills to align and develop interventions according to the patient's needs. It provides continuity of care allowing patients to receive the maximum benefit from treatment. It serves as a pilot plan for allocating individual staff to a...

This summary is machine-generated.

Academic records of 738 nursing students were analyzed to predict success in advanced practice programs. A high cumulative GPA and undergraduate nursing GPA effectively predicted success, making Graduate Record Examination scores unnecessary for admission decisions.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Higher Education Admissions

Background:

  • Selecting successful candidates for advanced practice nursing programs is crucial for workforce quality.
  • Traditional admission criteria may not fully capture a student's potential for success in demanding graduate programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an optimal compound decision rule for selecting master's-level nursing students likely to succeed in advanced practice programs.
  • To identify the most predictive combination of academic variables for candidate success.

Main Methods:

  • Review of academic records for 738 master's-level nursing students.
  • Chi-square analysis to determine the association between independent variables (GPA, GRE) and program dismissal status.

Main Results:

  • The combination of cumulative grade point average (CUMGPA) and undergraduate nursing grade point average (NSGGPA) was highly predictive of success.
  • A CUMGPA of 3.25 and NSGGPA of 3.0 predicted success in 99% of cases.
  • Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores did not add significant predictive value beyond GPA metrics.

Conclusions:

  • Waived GRE requirement for applicants meeting specific GPA criteria (CUMGPA ≥ 3.25, NSGGPA ≥ 3.0).
  • Developed new decision rules for admissions based on GPA, improving selection efficiency.
  • This approach enhances the prediction of success in advanced practice nursing programs.
