The practice of Holistic Admissions is increasing throughout our universities and colleges. It is a needed change to improve the process of choosing nursing school candidates and increase the diversity of the student body and profession. We are glad that you are taking the time to educate yourself about Holistic Admissions. In this presentation we will share why a Holistic Admissions process is important and how it differs from the traditional application process. You will learn about EAM – experiences, attributes, and metrics and how these components are used during the Holistic Admissions process. At the conclusion of this presentation, you will be well prepared to put your best self forward in your application to nursing school or the next step in your career.
