    High school performance predicts success in baccalaureate nursing programs. Students with lower prior academic achievement were more likely to face academic challenges and delays in their nursing education.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Education
    • Higher Education Admissions
    • Student Success Factors

    Background:

    • Identifying students with high potential for success is crucial for educational institutions.
    • This involves establishing reliable admission criteria and reducing program attrition rates.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the relationship between pre-admission scholastic performance and student achievement in a baccalaureate nursing program.
    • To assess the impact of prior academic success on progression during the first two years of the nursing program.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of scholastic performance prior to admission.
    • Correlation of high school credits and prerequisite university course averages with student progression.
    • Tracking student achievement and uninterrupted progression in the first two years of the nursing program.

    Main Results:

    • Students with higher high school averages tended to perform better in prerequisite university courses and the nursing program.
    • A significant portion (40%) of students faced interruptions in their progression, despite initially appearing 'low risk'.
    • Students experiencing academic delays had significantly lower mean averages in both high school credits and prerequisite university courses.

    Conclusions:

    • Prior academic performance is a strong indicator of success and progression in baccalaureate nursing programs.
    • Findings support the need for robust admission criteria and targeted student support services.
    • Recommendations include further cross-program studies and longitudinal research to validate and expand these findings.
