      Through Expanded Cognitive Aptitude Assessment.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Attrition from prelicensure nursing programs is a serious issue with 
      implications for students, nursing programs, and the nursing workforce. Academic 
      failure due to insufficient cognitive aptitude often contributes to this 
      problematic attrition rate. Thus, cognitive aptitude could be included in 
      admission criteria, as a predictor of academic success and a strategy to minimize 
      attrition. PROBLEM: Currently, admissions practices are often incomplete and lack 
      standardization for measuring cognitive aptitude. APPROACH: The Nursing Cognitive 
      Aptitude Model (NCAM) presented in this article is an innovative conceptual model 
      to guide educators in expanding current admissions processes. CONCLUSION: The 
      NCAM model depicts the cognitive domains involved in student academic success 
      including current scholastic knowledge, previous academic performance, and 
      critical-thinking ability. Together, these three domains predict student academic 
      success and are a useful reference for the admissions process.
