Book Attrition in an Associate Degree Program  The Lived Experience of the Nursing Student

Download or read book Attrition in an Associate Degree Program The Lived Experience of the Nursing Student written by Leanne Rogstad and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract : Using Wylie's (2004) Model of Non-Traditional Student Attrition as the theoretical framework, results of the analysis revealed student- and nursing-program-related factors that facilitate or hinder successful completion of the program. Barriers of completion included (a) amount and difficulty of course requirements, (b) difficult test rubrics, (c) ineffective instructors, (d) full-time teaching, (e) difficulty in balancing work, family, and school responsibilities, (f) language barriers, and (g) separation of work and school environment. Results of the study further showed that resolution of students' personal obstacles hindering program completion included (a) time and financial management, (b) establishing good relationships with instructors, and (c) use of student support services. While there is a plethora of extensive studies that have developed theories to explain students' early departure from nursing programs, there are only limited studies conducted with respect to nurse programs' retention or attrition in terms of the factors that lead to success in nursing programs. This current study investigated the lived experiences of students currently enrolled in an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) program as well as those who have dropped out of the program at a Midwest community college. Data were collected from 13 participants who participated in the semi-structured interview and were analyzed through a modified Moustakas (1994) van Kaam method. Results can be utilized by educational institutions to create ways to eliminate these barriers. Colleges might be more willing to provide additional student support during enrollment if the external factors that help students achieve success could be identified.

Book The Origins and Rise of Associate Degree Nursing Education

Download or read book The Origins and Rise of Associate Degree Nursing Education written by Patricia T. Haase and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Origins and Rise of Associate Degree Nursing Education offers an analytical history of the beginnings and development of associate degree nursing (ADN) programs and the role of the caregivers it produces in the health care system. Nurses may be trained in two-, three-, or four-year programs, but all are eligible to take the accreditation examination to be licensed as registered nurses (RNs). The question of distinguishing between "professional" nurses from bachelor programs and "technical" nurses from the associate degree programs has become an important and controversial issue in nursing. Advocates have long contended that the associate degree nurse is vital to the American health care system. This study, funded by the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, confirms this view. In recent years the Foundation has invested more than $6.1 million in the development of the ADN, awarded by junior and community colleges. Many participants in the ADN projects for the Kellogg Foundation have noted that, despite the importance of the ADN and the controversy about its place in nursing education, the literature is scattered and hard to identity. The Origins and Rise of Associate Degree Nursing Education and the companion bibliography will provide much-needed information to educators, hospital and nursing administrators, nursing leaders, and public policy makers--all of whom must cope with the growing nursing shortage and increasingly difficult issues in health policy and administration.

Book An Investigation of Multidimensional Variables Affecting Academically Dismissed Associate Degree Nursing Student Program Completion

Download or read book An Investigation of Multidimensional Variables Affecting Academically Dismissed Associate Degree Nursing Student Program Completion written by Kelly J. Dries and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nursing student retention and program completion is of increasing concern as the United States anticipates a projected shortfall in the number of registered nurses (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2012). The purpose of the study was to identify the multidimensional variables which impact attrition and program completion of Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) students who have been academically dismissed from a large urban technical college in the Midwest. The following research questions guided the study: What student characteristics, support for learners, and student effort variables do readmission ADN students perceive as influencing nursing program attrition? What student characteristics and outcome measures impact program completion for ADN readmission students? Using Tinto's Longitudinal Model of Departure from Institutions of Higher Education (1987), Jeffreys' Nursing Undergraduate Retention and Success Model (2004), and findings from the Center for Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCCSE, 2012), an original theoretical framework entitled, Readmission Nursing Student Success Model (Dries & Van Eerden, 2013) was created to incorporate a range of academic and non-academic variables which impact readmission ADN student attrition and program completion. Quantitative methodology was employed to explore impacting variables using data collection techniques of survey and retrospective record review. Twenty-six respondents participated in a survey to ascertain the perceived impact of non-academic variables on readmission ADN student attrition. Ex post facto records from 179 readmission ADN students were analyzed to identify student characteristics and student outcome measures (i.e., age, race, final grade in science and nursing courses, GPA) that impact nursing program completion. Findings of the study suggest that students earning a final grade of B+ or higher in the Nursing Fundamentals course (NRSAD101) course were predicted to complete the ADN program. In addition, readmission ADN students who were 33 years or older, decrease their odds of completing the ADN program by 1.44% for each year of age. The study also points to significant non-academic variables (i.e., finances, job hours worked, and hardship events; friend and peer support, nursing simulation, personal study skills, commitment to studying, completion of assignments, and ability to comprehend course content) which impact ADN student attrition.
