The Relationship between Scores on a Battery of Nursing Tests and Scholastic Achievement at the End of the Pre-Clinical Period

IT is the purpose of this article to present certain facts concerning the extent to which psychological tests are used in training schools for nurses throughout the country, some of the results of such testing in general, and the practical significance of a testing program in the Rhode Island Hospital Training School for Nurses in particular. A bibliography of titles pertaining to this special field is added. In the development of nursing to its present status of a semiprofession and at certain points a full profession, training schools for nurses have arrived, as have certain other educational institutions, at the point where they are not only in a position to exercise a greater degree of selection in the admitting of candidates but at a point where it is desirable and important that they should do so. Conscious objectives are both a reduction in the numbers trained and an improvement in the qualifications of candidates accepted for training. In the last decade colleges and universities, particularly the privately endowed ones, have been developing selective methods based upon the careful study of various entrance criteria. These studies have tended to place more and more emphasis upon objec-

Psychological Testing in Schools of Nursing: A General Statement Including Results from the Rhode Island Hospital

lTHE confusion which arises when an attempt is made to arrive at an improved method of selection of student nurses is suggested by the results, and especially by the difficulty of interpreting the results, of a tentative experiment in administering intelligence tests to the students of a nurses' training school. These difficulties are inevitable when the problem is attacked as an isolated one, without reference to the related and perhaps primary issues pertaining to the standards and objectives of nursing education, especially with respect to the clarification of the most important qualifications for success in nursing. The results reported here are merely suggestive, but they are suggestive of problems to be attacked and of questions to be cleared up, rather than of any decision for or against the use of intelligence tests as an instrument of selection. It is from this point of view that they will be discussed. How can we select the best from among the embarrassing number of applicants for entrance to our nurses training schools? Will intelligence tests help us? These are the questions which directors of training schools and hospitals everywhere are asking themselves. And the first of these questions, to which the second is clearly subordinate, is by no means a simple one. It depends for its practical solution upon the clearing up of a host of other questions pertaining to the definition of the actual and ideal standards of the nursing profession, and to the choosing of the most desirable methods of training for fulfilling the requirements of these standards. That the nursing profession is awake to these basic problems is demonstrated by the comprehensive study
