Predicting student success: A 10-year review using integrative review and meta-analysis

Perceptions of Athletic Training Education Program Directors on their Students' Persistence and Departure Decisions

“…Grade point averages, standardized test scores, and pre-nursing examinations all predict nursing student graduation while self-enhancement predictors (e.g., self-esteem, learning style, social support, etc), demographics, and gender do not correlate with graduation (Campbell & Dickson, 1996). The best predictor of nursing student persistence is a high grade point average in nursing and science courses while the best predictor of attrition is a low level of parental education and a younger age of the nursing student (Campbell & Dickson, 1996).…”

“…The best predictor of nursing student persistence is a high grade point average in nursing and science courses while the best predictor of attrition is a low level of parental education and a younger age of the nursing student (Campbell & Dickson, 1996). Students often leave nursing programs due to personal problems and dissatisfaction (Braithwaite, Elzubeir, & Stark, 1994).…”

Determination of variables which predict success on the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-PN).

“…Much of the research concerning predictors of success in nursing has focused on the registered nurse (Alexander & Brophy, 1997;Campbell & Dickson, 1996;Horns, O'Sullivan, & Goodman, 1991). Although very little research is available in the area of predictors of success on NCLEX-PN for practical nursing graduates, in four studies National League for Nursing (NLN) scores and age were significant factors determining success on the NCLEX examination (Meadow, 1964;NLN, 1954;Parrish, 1994;Seither, 1974).…”

Predictors of Success: Medical Laboratory Associate in Science Degree Program

“…These findings are important to students and educators in the field of medical laboratory technology because PGPA is a new predictor examined in this discipline and one that can be used to provide early in-program intervention to the at-risk student, thus increasing the chances of successful timely completion. Campbell and Dickson (1996) indicated that there are multiple factors that affect a student's decision to leave college, but a major problem in student retention for nursing schools is related to student success. The same holds true for medical laboratory technology programs where retention and student success are problems that have been magnified with the increased diversity of the student population.…”
