Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the current nursing shortage, student retention is a priority concern for nurse educators, health care institutions, and the patients they serve. This book presents an organizing framework for understanding student retention, identifying at-risk students, and developing both diagnostic-prescriptive strategies to facilitate success and innovations in teaching and educational research. The author's conceptual model for student retention, "Nursing Undergraduate Retention and Success," is interwoven throughout, along with essential information for developing, implementing, and evaluating retention strategies. An entire chapter is devoted to how to set up a Student Resource Center. Most chapters conclude with "Educator-in-Action" vignettes, which help illustrate practical application of strategies discussed. Nurse educators at all levels will find this an important resource.

Book The Relationship of Career Commitment and Social Determinants of Academic Achievement on Perceived Academic Persistence Among Undergraduate Nursing Students

Download or read book The Relationship of Career Commitment and Social Determinants of Academic Achievement on Perceived Academic Persistence Among Undergraduate Nursing Students written by Robyn C. Walter and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining why a student leaves a nursing program, voluntarily or involuntarily, after successfully meeting competitive admission criteria is an important area of research. The ability to persist in higher education, and in particular for student nurses, is a critical determinant of academic success. Attrition rates among nursing programs range on average from 30% to 50%. Attrition rates nationally and internationally in nursing programs are of concern as they reduce the supply of nurses and, furthermore, contribute to nursing shortages. A limitation of past research has been the lack of a theoretical framework that explains the relationship between nursing student academic persistence and career-related variables such as career commitment and social determinants of academic achievement. Guided by the Social Cognitive Career Theory, this descriptive cross-sectional study examined the relationship between career commitment on perceived student nurse persistence as well as considering the predictor variables of selected social determinants of academic achievement. Findings indicated a significant relationship between nursing student career commitment and perceived academic persistence. The outcome of this study assists in the deployment of further intervention-based research that can guide institutional resources to provide persistence-based interventions that are evidence-based.

Book Variables Influencing Attrition Rate in the Practical Nursing Program

Download or read book Variables Influencing Attrition Rate in the Practical Nursing Program written by Paula Kuhnen and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a national shortage of nurses. Yet, we lose some of the potential nurses in the Practical Nursing Program (PNP) for reasons that may be avoidable. The purposes of this project were to determine (a) what variables influence attrition in the PNP, (b) if these variables differ as they proceed in the PNP, and (c) if a relationship exists between hardiness, outside encouragement/support and the dropout rate. The conceptual framework was derived from Bean and Metzner (1985) and Jeffreys (1998). The research designs were quantitative descriptive, cross sectional, and a quantitative correlational. A convenience sample of Practical nursing students in a technical college in Central United States (N=93) was used. Data were collected by the researcher using two questionnaires. The first questionnaire addressed academic, background and environmental variables. The second questionnaire addressed hardiness. The variables that influenced attrition were financial, academics, transportation, and family responsibility. Hardiness was not found significant in relationship to the dropout rate nor was it affected by outside encouragement or support. Practical nursing students, who had outside support and encouragement had lower attrition rates.

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.

Book Correlation of Selected Variables to Success in a Nursing Course

Download or read book Correlation of Selected Variables to Success in a Nursing Course written by Nancy Dentlinger and published by . This book was released on 2008-08-01 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nursing programs in the United States are not able to accept all qualified applicants. Because of a severe shortage of nurses, it is critical that schools of nursing accept the candidates most likely to be successful. This book reflects a study with two hundred and fifty subjects from eight different associate degree nursing programs located across the state of Oklahoma. The study explored the relationship between the individual independent variables of academic self-efficacy, prior academic success, demographic variables; and the dependent variable of success in a first semester associate degree-nursing course. Analysis of data was completed using the Pearson correlational statistic, followed by linear regression techniques. Variables that were statistically significant in predicting continuation to the second nursing course included the ACT composite score and total self-efficacy score. These variables accounted for only 8.6 of the variance in continuation status. Variables that were statistically significant in predicting course grade included the ACT composite and age. These variables accounted for only 9.1% of the variance in course grade.

Book Admission Variables as a Predictor of First Semester Student Success

Download or read book Admission Variables as a Predictor of First Semester Student Success written by Linda Lisa Esper and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 172 pages. 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 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
