The attrition of students in the undergraduate nursing program was evaluated. The value of the admission interview and its preferred nature were assessed by questionnaires filled by candidates and faculty.
It was found that although interviewing was only partially effective in screening potential drop-outs, including those who left the programme on non-academic grounds, without interviews the attrition rate increased. Personal interviews accounted for a somewhat lower attrition rate than the unanimously preferred group interviews.
The process of choosing candidates to nursing programmes requires new thinking, as high attrition rates are not prevented by interviews. More research into the proper mechanism of student selection is needed.
对本科护理专业学生的流失情况进行了评估。通过候选人及教师填写的问卷，评估入学面试的价值及其理想形式。
发现尽管面试在筛选潜在辍学者（包括那些因非学术原因离开该项目的学生）方面仅部分有效，但若无面试，流失率会上升。个人面试的流失率略低于一致偏好的小组面试。
由于面试无法防止高流失率，护理专业项目的候选人选拔过程需要新的思路。需要对学生选拔的适当机制进行更多研究。
