Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there were significant differences in selected student outcomes in community college associate degree nursing programs using a competitive admissions process compared to those programs using a modified open admissions process. Community college nursing faculty are attempting to reconcile a need to choose the best and brightest nursing students in an environment traditionally committed to open admissions for all students. Two admissions processes may be used to select students for entry into associate degree nursing programs - one, competitive admissions, ranks and accepts applicants ordinally on the basis of past academic achievement and potential aptitude; and two, modified open admissions, accepts qualified applicants on the basis of date of fulfillment of admission requirements until all admissions spaces are filled.
