Summary: | Nursing programs are under immense pressure to increase the number of graduates to meet the demands of a culturally diverse nursing workforce. One method of increasing nursing graduates is through early identification of predictors such as scholastic aptitude scores for student success in nursing school. One recent study was conducted to identify predictors in a sample of Hispanic (Latino) students enrolled in their first academic nursing course in a baccalaureate program. Results of a binary logistic regression using all subjects and all predictor variables (reading, preadmission grade point average, math, science, English, critical thinking, Test of Essential Academic Skills [TEAS] scores, gender, language, first-generation college attendance, marital and employment status) indicated that the TEAS was the only statistically significant predictor variable to academic success.
