Medical schools regularly use holistic review, and more nursing schools may adopt holistic review in the future.METHOD:
Rodgers' evolutionary method of concept analysis was used to examine usage in current praxis.RESULTS:
Findings support a desire to enhance diversity in collegiate, health-related programs while increasing numbers of culturally competent, qualified providers representative of the US population.CONCLUSION:
Holistic review promotes diversity of nursing students and future nurse providers. This concept analysis provides a unified definition of holistic review to promote educational and health-care-related equity through increased representativeness of nursing students and future nurses.
