Resumo

This study is a logistic regression analysis of data collected over a period of 5 years to determine which of three preadmission examinations best predicted success in an associate degree in nursing program. The three tests included in this study were the Pre-Admission Examination for Registered Nurses from the National League of Nursing, the admission assessment examination (A2) from Health Education Systems Inc. (HESI), and the Test of Essential Academic Skills from Assessment Technologies Institute. Data analysis revealed the HESI A2 examination scores can explain success in the nursing program better than the other tests included in this study.
