- W1576860147 abstract "As Applications Fall Off Applicant Discouragement Is Suspected Cause Applications to all types of prelicensure RN programs dropped by 8.7 percent between 2005 and 2006. In 2005, total applications peaked at more than 347,000 in contrast with slightly fewer than 317,000 applications in 2006. Diploma programs experienced the greatest loss, more than 13 percent. For baccalaureate programs the loss was similar. Applications were down by 12.4 percent, from almost 114,000 in 2005 to than 100,000 in 2006. Associate degree programs had notable but smaller reductions in applications, from 217,000 in 2005 to 203,000 in 2006, a decrease of 6.4 percent. Unmet Demand for Placement in Programs Persists Despite the reduced number of applications, many factors indicate that opportunities to obtain a nursing education are still in short supply. Eighty-eight thousand qualified applications--or one out of every three qualified applications submitted to nursing education programs this year--were turned away due to lack of capacity (Figure 1). Moreover, the level of of prelicensure nursing programs, while down from last year's peak, continues to dramatically exceed that of US undergraduate programs nationwide. Selectivity The most commonly used measure of demand in higher education is the selectivity rate--also known as the acceptance rate--which is the percentage of all applicants who are accepted into a school or program. In 2006 Harvard University was the nation's most college, with a rate of 9 percent. Generally, undergraduate colleges are considered selective if they offer admission to fewer than half of their applicants. Whereas only about one third (35 percent) of four-year colleges fell into the highly category, more than one half (54 percent) of prelicensure nursing programs earned that designation in 2006. And, while the vast majority (over 90 percent) of undergraduate colleges are less selective (accepting more than half of their applicants), only 42 percent of nursing programs fall into that category (1,2). Overall, baccalaureate programs accept qualified applications at a much higher rate than do their associate degree counterparts. In 2006, baccalaureate programs accepted more than 71 percent of all qualified prelicensure applications, and diploma programs accepted 74 percent, compared to only 54.4 percent accepted by associate degree programs. Compared with 2005, the percentage of qualified applications not accepted to baccalaureate programs was up slightly in 2006, while the percentage turned away from associate degree programs was down relative to the previous academic year. Yield The yield rate, defined as the percentage of accepted applicants who go on to enroll, offers another indicator of demand for spots in academic programs. A high yield rate might indicate the popularity of a particular program relative to others, or can signal a dearth of alternative venues for pursuing a course of educational studies. Consistent with this year's drop in applications, after three consecutive years of extraordinarily high yield rates exceeding 90 percent, the average yield rate of all prelicensure RN programs fell in 2006 to just over 80 percent. Specifically, yield rates were highest among associate degree programs, where 86 percent of accepted applicants went on to enroll. At baccalaureate and diploma programs, on average, three out of four accepted applicants entered those schools. While down slightly from 2005, the yield rate for prelicensure nursing programs is still extraordinarily high relative to that found among undergraduate colleges nationally. For instance, in 2006, Harvard's yield rate of 79 percent was the highest in the nation, whereas the average yield rate among prelicensure nursing programs was 80 percent (3). Specifically, at 86 percent, yield rates among associate degree programs were the highest of the various types of prelicensure nursing programs, while at baccalaureate and diploma programs three out of four accepted applicants went on to enroll. …" @default.
