Abstract
The applicant evaluation process utilized by an undergraduate baccalaureate nursing program is described and evaluated. Consideration is given to the technical adequacy, utility, and practicality of the process and to the legal and ethical considerations that govern the evaluation of applicants for admission to a program of study. Data were collected from six faculty members who served on the admissions committee and from the records of 135 students admitted to the program. Analysis of qualitative and quantitative data reveals that the legal rights of the applicants were protected and that ethical practices were followed in the review process. The authors determine that the instrument used to evaluate applicants is practical and provides valuable and necessary information about applicants. The reliability and predictive and concurrent validity of the instrument are supported.
