    Abstract

    This paper describes an innovative program to enhance access to the Bachelor of Nursing (BN) in the form of a nursing entrance test (NET). Discussion will focus on the NET as the means for enhancing access and retention. The results of a recent evaluation of the NET are discussed and used to demonstrate that the NET is an effective tool for the provision of access and retention in the Bachelor of Nursing for students who do not meet standard entry criteria.
