    • Nursing programs require specific academic and personal attributes for success.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To document the academic credentials of students admitted to nursing programs.
    • To evaluate the success rates of these students in completing nursing education.
    • To identify predictors of success in nursing programs for this demographic.

    Main Methods:

    • Student success was defined as receiving a degree or certificate in nursing.
    • Eleven academic variables were correlated with program completion.

    Main Results:

    • 125 out of 182 students (69%) successfully completed their nursing degrees or certificates.
    • This success rate is favorable compared to national and regional benchmarks.
    • Subjective evaluations by academic personnel were the only significant predictors (p = .01) of success.

    Conclusions:

    • Students with marginal credentials can succeed in nursing programs with appropriate support.
    • Subjective assessments by educators are valuable in predicting nursing student success.
    • Nursing education programs should consider holistic evaluation methods for admissions.
