Abstract

This study attempted to correlate the high school science grade, nursing aptitude test and college inorganic chemistry grade of the first year nursing students with regards to the course Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Also, this study aimed to determine the importance of the basic knowledge of the basic knowledge in science to the said course. Furthermore, it determined if there was any significant linear relationship between the three variables being studied. The three variables are high school science grade, nursing aptitude test rating and inorganic chemistry grade. This study was conducted to determine if there is a significant relationship between high school science grade and nursing aptitude test rating, high school science grade and college chemistry grade, and nursing aptitude test rating and college chemistry grade. This was prompted by the need to evaluate the students science grades as an indication of their success in the course nursing. Based on the data gathered the following findings and conclusions were drawn. Both the nursing aptitude test and college chemistry is significantly related. This shows that the results of the students' aptitude test will predict the students' performance in the college chemistry subject. But high school science grade does not directly indicate that whatever result the student had obtained, the college chemistry will be affected.
