Review of the literature reveals no current studies on predictors of registered nurse success in baccalaureate programs. This retrospective study investigated the relationship between preadmission variables for RNs (grade point average [GPA] in previous course work, year of birth, and number of years of full-time or part-time work prior to admission) and subsequent achievement in a baccalaureate nursing program. Eighty-one RNs, of which 65 completed the program, were the sample for this study. Predictions of success for the study were determined by program completion and final nursing GPA (NGPA). Factor analysis of the variables revealed that RNs who passed all challenge exams had significantly higher mean NGPAs than RNs who did not pass all challenges. Also, RNs who had not received a D in previous course work at the time of enrollment had significantly higher NGPAs than RNs who had received a D. The data found significant in this study can be useful to faculty admission committees in attempting to predict RN success in baccalaureate programs. It can also be helpful in promoting successful outcomes for RNs in generic programs.
文献综述显示，目前尚无关于本科护理项目中注册护士成功预测因素的研究。这项回顾性研究调查了注册护士入学前变量（之前课程作业的平均绩点[GPA]、出生年份以及入学前全职或兼职工作年限）与本科护理项目后续成绩之间的关系。本研究的样本为81名注册护士，其中65名完成了该项目。该研究的成功预测指标由项目完成情况和最终护理GPA（NGPA）确定。对这些变量的因子分析表明，通过所有挑战性考试的注册护士的平均NGPA显著高于未通过所有挑战的注册护士。此外，入学时之前课程作业未获得D的注册护士的NGPA显著高于获得D的注册护士。本研究中发现的这些数据对教师招生委员会预测注册护士在本科护理项目中的成功情况可能有用。它也有助于促进普通护理项目中注册护士取得成功的结果。
