Abstract:
This study aimed to determine if correlations existed between overall science prerequisite grade point average (GPA) and successful completion of pathophysiology and overall science GPA and the Test of Essential Academic Skills Version V (TEAS V) science subscore. The quantitative study design was used with 73 students who were conditionally admitted to the baccalaureate nursing program. No statistically significant correlation was found between overall science GPA and successful completion of pathophysiology; a weak low correlation was found between overall science GPA and TEAS V science subscore. These findings suggest that TEAS V science subscores used as a standalone assessment do not predict success in pathophysiology.
