This book was released on 2009 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the United States is already facing a national shortage of hospital and long-term care registered nurses, the current number of potential nurse candidates succesfully completing baccalaureate nursing programs (BNPs) is not sufficient to meet the estimated demand for baccalaureate-prepared nurses in the U.S. and worldwide. Yet program attrition due to varying reasons leads to graduating nursing classes that are below the clinical program's admission limit in a particular BNP in the Southeastern U.S. -- often considerably lower. This study used a convenience sample of all current or former BNP students in the university from the fall of 2004 to the spring semester of 2009. A descriptive, non-experimental approach was used for the study, utilizing a researcher-developed survey for data collection. Surveys were completed by 171 of the 243 recipients for a 70.37% response rate. Survey findings provided valuable information that may lead to the enhancement of systems of support for students in the program, leading to greater likelihood of BNP retention.

Download or read book The Future of Nursing written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-02-08 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Future of Nursing explores how nurses' roles, responsibilities, and education should change significantly to meet the increased demand for care that will be created by health care reform and to advance improvements in America's increasingly complex health system. At more than 3 million in number, nurses make up the single largest segment of the health care work force. They also spend the greatest amount of time in delivering patient care as a profession. Nurses therefore have valuable insights and unique abilities to contribute as partners with other health care professionals in improving the quality and safety of care as envisioned in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enacted this year. Nurses should be fully engaged with other health professionals and assume leadership roles in redesigning care in the United States. To ensure its members are well-prepared, the profession should institute residency training for nurses, increase the percentage of nurses who attain a bachelor's degree to 80 percent by 2020, and double the number who pursue doctorates. Furthermore, regulatory and institutional obstacles-including limits on nurses' scope of practice-should be removed so that the health system can reap the full benefit of nurses' training, skills, and knowledge in patient care. In this book, the Institute of Medicine makes recommendations for an action-oriented blueprint for the future of nursing.

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.
