| Abstract | There is a need for nurses throughout the country. Nursing program administrators need evidence-based admission criteria to determine the best applicants to admit to nursing programs. The problem to be addressed is the inability to determine which of the many preadmission criteria are predictive of success in nursing programs. The purpose of this retrospective quantitative study is to examine whether the Health Education Systems Incorporated (HESI) Admission Assessment (A[superscript 2]) composite, reading comprehension, math, anatomy and physiology, vocabulary and general knowledge and critical thinking sub scores are predictive of success in nursing programs. This study was founded on evidence-based practice, critical thinking, and Benner's Novice-to-Expert theory. The study sample consisted of five hundred and sixteen (516) nursing students who took the HESI A[superscript 2] before admission to their nursing program. This study was a retrospective quantitative correlational examination of the HESI A[superscript 2] scores and graduation and NCLEX-RN® first-time pass rates. The research questions asked whether the HESI A[superscript 2] scores and graduation and NCLEX-RN® first-time pass rates had a relationship. It was found that the composite, reading comprehension, math, and anatomy and physiology scores were weakly negatively correlated to graduation. These scores can be used to predict success in nursing programs if nursing program administrators use the midrange scores instead of the highest scores. Further research should be done using end-of-course averages instead of graduation rates to improve the study. Future researchers should also do a comparative study between associate degree programs and baccalaureate programs. Nursing program administrators should use the scores related to graduation to determine which applicants to admit to their programs. Program administrators should also look at the midrange scores for their applicants. This study gives nursing program administrators an evidence-based criterion to use in their application process.
