Abstract

Background: The nursing profession does not reflect the diversity of the population they serve. Many health professions, including nursing, have altered their admissions practices to consider a holistic assessment of individuals. Quantitative data from students are not sufficient to develop a diverse student body. Method: A literature review was conducted using MEDLINE, CINAHL, ERC, ERIC, and Google Scholar. Original research articles on holistic admission (HA) processes and the effects on diversity in nursing were included in the review. Search terms were “holistic admission,” “holistic review,” and “nursing.” Results: There is a paucity of research regarding HA in nursing. The available literature suggests HA increases the odds of developing a more diverse student population. Conclusion: HA should be considered to increase diversity of students. Further research is needed regarding the effects of HA on diversity among nursing students. [ J Nurs Educ . 2023;62(10):556–562.]
