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.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gaining admission into pre-licensure nursing programs has proven to be quite difficult for the average college student. Topping the list of crucial priorities for many academic institutions is the retention of these nursing students. Yet, the reality is that many students decide not to complete their course of study for reasons other than academic failure. The retention of nursing students is essential to securing competent, well-educated nurses to care for society in years to come. Current research has indicated that the enrollment of students pursuing an Associate Degree of Nursing within the Community College systems has greatly increased; however, attrition rates remain high in these groups when compared to Baccalaureate Nursing programs. Quantitative studies have identified academic as well as non-academic reasons that influence students' decisions to stay in school. Yet, our efforts to fully understand these reasons remain limited by the closed-ended questions asked of these students about their challenges to remain in school. This study took a different approach to further investigate the actions and processes identified by non-traditional college nursing students in order to contribute to student retention theory. The grounded theory methodology of Charmaz (2006) was used to identify three major study concepts that were identified from audio-recorded interviews which highlighted the retention actions and processes from ten non-traditional college nursing students. The major concepts of enhancing personal capacity, learning to balance, and maintaining support were interpreted from this study's findings. The postulate interpreted from this study included the following: Community college non-traditional nursing students who are able to enhance their personal capacity through the actions and processes of learning to balance and maintaining support may have increased capabilities to remain in their nursing programs.

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.
