Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current national shortage of practicing registered nurses is exacerbated by an accompanying shortage of nurse educators, which limits program enrollments in Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) programs. Relatively low available enrollment in nursing programs is coupled with a national first year retention rate of 64% (National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission [NLNAC], 2008), which leaves ADN educational leaders struggling to find improved ways to increase graduation rates through better identification of qualified applicants. This exploratory, action research study examined commonly used ADN admission criteria in order to identify those indicators which best predict students' first semester success at a small private northeastern United States college. The predictive ability of common ADN admission variables (TEAS scores in the areas of math, science, and English; overall TEAS score; age; gender; and math, science, and English course grades) was determined with regard to student success outcome variables (medication/math exam grade, Nurse Fundamental course grade, Nurse Health Assessment course grade, and Assessment Technology Institute [ATI] Nursing I Fundamental Content Mastery Series scores). Using an exploratory, action research design, data from 120 freshman nursing students were examined to assess the relative contributions of each of the predictor variables on forecasting students' first semester success. The study's methodology involved a simple correlation and regression analysis of the data. Selected Admission's variables were shown to be correlated to certain outcome variables. These Admission's variables included, the TEAS overall score, the last science course grade on admission (ACGs), the TEAS score in English, and the student's last earned English course on admission (ACGe). Only the TEAS total score showed correlation with success over a broad range of success score, i.e. ATIs, FUNg, and HAg. Overall, it was concluded that the ability of the admission variables to predict a specific score on student outcome assessment was weak. As a result of this study, the college's Admission office and nursing department will use the information to modify Admission's policies, develop pre-admission workshops, and continue to implement program initiatives to further support student success in an ADN nursing program. Further studies are warranted in order to assist other colleges in determining the level of academic qualifications most desirable in selecting students capable of success in their ADN nursing program.

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.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although multiple studies exist which evaluate the relationship between a student’s academic persistence, progression, and retention, few studies have evaluated the relationship between pre-requisite science courses and persistence in an Associate Degree Nursing program. With a national nursing shortage, greater emphasis on the retention of students who are enrolled in nursing programs must be maintained. Emphasis at both the state and national level to respond to the Institute of Medicine 2010 Report on the Future of Nursing are necessary to further bridge the gap in academia between Associate Degree Nursing programs and Bachelor of Science in nursing programs. The purpose of this retrospective secondary data analysis was to evaluate the relationship between academic performance on pre-requisite science courses and Associate Degree Nursing student outcomes. A retrospective, secondary data analysis design was used to guide data collection and analysis. Tinto’s Model of Student Retention served as the foundation of this study. The study sample population consisted of Associate Degree Nursing students enrolled in one pre-licensure nursing program in the Midwest. Demographic data included all Associate Degree Nursing students from the multi-site community college in the Midwest from the inception of the stand-alone program in the fall 2015 to present who have graduated. Program data for this participant group of Associate Degree Nursing cohorts were entered into Statistical Package for Social Sciences software and coded appropriately. All statistical tests for analysis of the secondary data were conducted using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. The findings from this study will inform further studies capable of examining practices associated with selecting required pre-requisite courses, as well as developing a greater understanding for the implication(s) of failed prerequisite courses and the likelihood of further unsuccessful attempts. Once the relationship is established, an intervention can be explored, and further data can be collected and analyzed.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the late 1990s the nursing field has experienced increased demand for RN’s as well as a number of internal and external factors that have worsened this problem. College admissions officers have struggled to identify those students who are most likely to persist in an associate degree nursing (ADN) program. Estimates of programmatic attrition vary, but fall somewhere between 25-50%. A great deal of research has been expended in an attempt to determine which preadmission variables are most likely to indicate programmatic success. Unfortunately, no “best set” of admissions variables has been identified. The purpose of this research was to identify cognitive and noncognitive predictors of success in an ADN program. These variables can then be used by nursing program administrators to help identify students during the admissions phase who are most likely to persist through the first term and potentially to degree completion. Bloom’s theory of school learning serves as the theoretical framework for this research. The participants in this study were 188 students (summer and fall cohorts) in the Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) program at a large state college in the southeastern region of the United States. The research design was a quantitative, non-experimental, correlational design to predict the relationship between four input predictor variables and one criterion variable. The Health Education Systems Inc A2 assessment (HESI A2) and the Grit-S Scale were used to measure these input variables. Binary regression was used to analyze the resulting data. This research is critical in addressing nursing shortfalls, a pressing real world problem facing society at large, nursing in general, and college admissions departments for ADN programs in particular.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 224 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 future shortfall in the number of registered nurses (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2012). Nursing education programs are charged with preparing nurses needed to meet demand. Improving student retention increases program completion and impacts on the number of nurses available to enter the workforce. The purpose of this study was to identify multidimensional variables affecting associate degree nursing (ADN) student program completion. The following research questions guided the study: What student characteristics, support for learners, and student effort variables do ADN students perceive as impacting nursing program completion? What factors represent the interrelationships among student outcome variables in students who complete an ADN program? Quantitative methodology including survey and record review was employed to explore variables affecting ADN program completion at Moraine Park Technical College, a Midwestern community college. Responses from students within one month of program completion (N=45) were collected through an electronic survey. Ex post facto records of ADN program graduates (N=88) were also reviewed. A record was considered if it included grades from General and Advanced Anatomy and Physiology, all nursing course grades, National League for Nursing (NLN) standardized examination scores, specifically, the Preadmission Exam composite and verbal, science, and math scores; Nutrition, Childbearing Family, Care of the Adult, Psychiatric, and Diagnostic Readiness exams; and national licensing exam (NCLEX-RN) performance. Findings of the survey suggested that variables perceived to have positive impact on program completion were family, friend, peer, and nursing faculty support as well as personal study skills, commitment to studying, completion of course assignments, nursing simulation activities, and use of the nursing lab for practice. Finances and job hours worked had negative impact. The ex post facto record review identified interrelationships among advanced medical-surgical theory courses, year one nursing clinical courses, final quarter nursing courses, anatomy and physiology courses, and pre-program and end of program standardized examinations. The research has implications for ADN programs. Programs need to implement student support and success strategies and examine academic and nonacademic variables to determine their impact on student retention and program completion.
