The purpose of this study is to determine whether a relationship exists between beginning nursing students' Nurse Entrance Test (NET) scores and their academic success within the first year of professional study. The major goal is to identify predictors of academic success so that supportive academic strategies could be implemented for the at-risk student. A statistically significant relationship is found between NET reading comprehension, math and composite scores and nursing grades during the first semester. Test-taking skills, social stressors and learning styles were also significantly related to course performance. Successful students had significantly higher reading, math, and composite scores and lower family and social stress scores than unsuccessful students. NET scores were also predictive of nursing grades, accounting for 10-33% of the variance when entered into a multiple regression equation.
本研究的目的是确定护理专业新生的护士入学考试(NET)成绩与他们在专业学习第一年的学业成绩之间是否存在关联。主要目标是找出学业成功的预测因素,以便为有风险的学生实施支持性的学业策略。研究发现,第一学期期间,NET阅读理解、数学和综合成绩与护理课程成绩之间存在统计学上的显著关联。考试技巧、社会压力源和学习方式也与课程表现显著相关。成功的学生在阅读、数学和综合成绩方面显著高于未成功的学生,而家庭和社会压力得分则较低。NET成绩也可预测护理课程成绩,在多元回归方程中,其可解释10%至33%的方差。
