Unsuccessful nursing students have a great impact on nursing programs. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationships among preadmission HESI A2 (Health Education Systems, Incorporated Admission Assessment) score, science and math course grades, program completion, and NCLEX-RN success in an associate degree nursing program using a retrospective, correlational research design. A statistically significant relationship was found between preadmission examination scores and successful NCLEX-RN passage on first attempt. Program completion had a positive correlation with preadmission science grades and HESI A2 scores.
学业不成功的护理专业学生对护理课程有很大影响。本研究的目的是采用回顾性、相关性研究设计,确定副学士学位护理课程中入学前HESI A2(健康教育系统公司入学评估)分数、科学和数学课程成绩、课程完成情况与NCLEX-RN考试成功之间的关系。研究发现,入学前考试成绩与首次成功通过NCLEX-RN考试之间存在统计学上的显著关系。课程完成情况与入学前科学成绩和HESI A2分数呈正相关。
