Abstract
It is important to understand that choosing a career does not simply mean deciding upon the ultimate career profile which will guide you through the gates of success and fame rather it means that a person should have the potential to grow with that career and achieve success through his her decision. That is why it is very important for every student to understand what is embodied within the word. Every career option requires a particular aptitude combination that should match with the individuals potential ability to grow with that career. The aim of present study is to assess the aptitude level of newly admitted nursing students studying at various nursing colleges in Punjab. Non experimental approach was used. The conceptual framework of the study was developed on the theory of Bloom’s taxonomy of learning. Total 330 subjects were enrolled by convenience sampling technique. Socio demographic sheet and Nursing Aptitude Test NAT were used to collect data to assess the aptitude level of newly admitted students in nursing courses studying at selected nursing colleges of Punjab. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. Results showed that 76 subjects had average cognition level followed by 21.5 subjects had good cognitive ability while only 2.4 subjects had average cognitive ability. More than half of the subjects i.e. 52.1 had strong affective behaviour and 47.8 subjects had average affective behaviour. A significant association found between cognitive domain and socio demographic characteristics like type of nursing course, senior secondary education stream, marks in 2 class and mother education at level of significance 0.005.
