Book excerpt: ABSTRACT EVANS, DENA ADELE, An examination of the influence of select non-cognitive variables on the intention of minority baccalaureate nursing students to complete a baccalaureate nursing program. (Under the direction of Dr. Timothy Hatcher.) On college and university campuses nationwide, understanding the phenomenon of student retention has become an institutional imperative. The loss of any student is costly to a college or university, resulting in considerable financial loss (Siedman, 2005). For some programs of study, such as nursing, retention is paramount, not only for the institution but for the communities which are served by its graduates. Moreover, retaining minority nursing students is of particular importance because it holds the key to the resolution of a long-standing absence of minority representation in the nursing profession, the nursing shortage and the elimination of health disparities among minority healthcare recipients (Davidhizar, Dowd, & Giger, 1998; Shi & Stevens, 2005). Using Tinto’s (1993) Model of Institutional Departure, the present study explores the relationship between non-cognitive variables of pre-entry attributes (age, race, gender); pre-entry goals and commitments (commitment to complete program and commitment to the university); external communities (family, residence and work obligations) institutional experiences (academic and social) and studentsâ€TM intention to complete their program of study.

Predictors of Early Academic Success and Program Completion Among Baccalaureate Nursing Students. (Under the direction of Duane Akroyd.) The Nursing Undergraduate Retention and Success (NURS) Model (Jeffreys, 2004) was the theoretical framework for a study that examined the predictive value of selected cognitive (cumulative GPA, science GPA, science credits, previous degree, reading comprehension, math skill), noncognitive (stress), and demographic (age, ethnicity) student profile characteristics on the early academic success and on-time program completion of baccalaureate nursing students. The sample consisted of 370 BSN students at a public university in the Southeast. Data were collected from an existing student database. The dependent variable, early academic success, was based on grades in nursing courses during the first two semesters. The dependent variable, program completion, was measured as on-time graduation at the end of six semesters or graduation being delayed or denied. Three of the independent variables (reading comprehension, math skill, and stress) were measures from the Nurse Entrance Test. The results of logistic regression analysis showed that for the model predicting early academic success (Ï! = 57.76, p

Bond and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to adapt and test the Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) to (1) determine the intent of pre-licensure baccalaureate nursing students for a future faculty role and graduate education, and (2) investigate how well derived SCCT constructs predict intent for a future faculty role and graduate education. Walker and Avant's theory derivation procedures guided the adaptation of SCCT to the profession of nursing. A prospective correlational research design was used with a convenience sample of 1,078 pre-licensure baccalaureate nursing students who responded to an online survey. Almost 25% of the study sample reported high/very high intent to pursue a future faculty role and 76% expressed high/very high intent for graduate education. Logistic regression analysis revealed that the full SCCT model with eleven independent variables was partially supported to predict students' high intent to pursue a future faculty role. The high intent students were significantly more likely to (1) have interests in the activities/tasks of a faculty role; (2) be enrolled in an accelerated baccalaureate nursing program; (3) perceive the advantages in a faculty role; (4) have previous teaching experiences; (5) have received encouragement from faculty to pursue a faculty role; and 6) perceive few disadvantages of a faculty role. In contrast, the students' age, gender, race/ethnicity, parent education and occupation, educational level and background, supports and barriers, self-efficacy for a faculty role, and role modeling by a faculty member did not significantly impact their intent for a future faculty role. Furthermore, the logistic regression analysis indicated that the SCCT model was partially supported to predict students' intent to pursue graduate education, accounting for 26.2% to 39.4% of the variance. This study offered several unique findings. It was the first study to expand and adapt SCCT theory to understand how undergraduate nursing students perceived a future nursing faculty role and graduate education. The measures demonstrated good reliability overall, providing a solid foundation for future research on this topic. The knowledge gained in this study could be used to develop and test effective strategies to interest students in a future nursing faculty role and graduate education.
