This pilot study aimed to describe applicants who do not progress during the nursing school admissions process, explore common reasons they do not progress, and identify demographic trends. We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis on applicants who were not admitted to a master's entry program for nursing over the course of five consecutive admission cycles. The most common reasons for denial were missing prerequisite, late application, a bachelor's degree grade point average of <3.0, and a science prerequisite grade point average of <2.7. We found associations between some demographic groups and nonprogression through the application process.
本研究旨在描述在护理学校招生过程中未能取得进展的申请人，探讨其未能取得进展的常见原因，并确定人口统计学趋势。我们对连续五个招生周期中未被护理硕士入学项目录取的申请人进行了回顾性队列分析。拒绝的最常见原因是缺少先决条件、申请延迟、学士学位平均绩点<3.0 和科学先决条件平均绩点<2.7。我们发现一些人口统计学群体与申请过程中的非进展之间存在关联。
