Programmatic Evaluation of Holistic Admissions: The Influence on Students
The Journal of Nursing Education
|June 30, 2018
Summary
Holistic admission significantly increased Hispanic student enrollment in nursing programs, while decreasing White student admissions. This approach positively impacted diversity without altering academic metrics, though further strategies are needed.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Health Workforce Diversity
Background:
- Traditional nursing admissions may limit workforce diversity.
- Holistic admission considers experiences and attributes beyond academics.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the impact of holistic admission on nursing program diversity.
- To assess student perceptions of the holistic admission process.
Main Methods:
- Compared demographic and academic data of admitted nursing students pre- and post-holistic admission.
- Surveyed students admitted via holistic review.
Main Results:
- Significant increase in Hispanic student admissions; decrease in non-Hispanic White students.
- No significant change in academic metrics.
- Students favored interviews over written applications; some concerns about minority impact.
Conclusions:
- Holistic admission can enhance nursing class diversity.
- Combine holistic admission with pipeline strategies for sustained diversity.

01:31Student t Distribution
14.2K
The population standard deviation is rarely known in many day-to-day examples of statistics. When the sample sizes are large, it is easy to estimate the population standard deviation using a confidence interval, which provides results close enough to the original value. However, statisticians ran into problems when the sample size was small. A small sample size caused inaccuracies in the confidence interval.

Student's t-test in Microsoft Excel is a statistical method used to compare the means of two groups to determine if they are significantly different from each other. It's commonly used to evaluate hypotheses, such as testing whether a treatment has an effect compared to a control group. Excel provides built-in functions to perform t-tests, making it accessible for users needing to conduct basic statistical analysis.

6.1K
The t-test is a statistical method used to compare the sample mean with a population mean or compare two means from two data sets. The test statistic is calculated from the standard deviation, mean, and number of measurements in the data set at a selected confidence interval and then compared to a table of critical values at this confidence level. If the test statistic is smaller than the critical value, the null hypothesis is accepted. In this case, we state that the difference between the...

01:29The Influence of Affect on Cognition
296
Positive affect significantly influences cognitive processes, including evaluation, memory, creativity, and social judgments. Compared to negative affect, positive emotional states promote more favorable interpretations of stimuli, cognitive flexibility, and heuristic processing. These effects highlight emotions' powerful role in shaping how individuals perceive, remember, and interact with the world.Influence on Evaluation and AttributionWhen individuals experience positive affect, they are...

01:29The Influence of Cognition on Affect
223
Cognition plays a pivotal role in shaping emotional experiences, as demonstrated by Schachter and Singer’s two-factor theory of emotion. According to this model, emotion arises from a combination of physiological arousal and cognitive interpretation. The body’s physiological response to stimuli is ambiguous and only gains emotional significance through cognitive labeling. For instance, an increased heart rate and adrenaline surge while standing near an attractive person may be...

400
Bioavailability refers to the extent and rate at which a drug reaches systemic circulation in its active form. Extent refers to the amount of the drug that makes it into circulation, while rate is the speed at which it enters circulation. It is influenced by several factors critical for optimizing drug formulations, dosing regimens, and therapeutic outcomes.Physicochemical properties of drugs and formulationsThe solubility, stability, and dissolution rate of a drug significantly impact its...
